Default getting high beamed

Does anyone else ever get high beamed by oncomming traffic because of the h.i.d.'s? Every time I'm on the road someone either highbeams me or gives me the middle finger because they think I'm highbeaming them, but I'm not.

Yes, it's a problem. I just give them a quick flash back so they realize I dont have the high beams on.

Just adjust your beams down. Tell the Honda to adjust them for you if they are too high. I was having that problem but not anymore. It is annoying to constantly be flashed by oncoming drivers.

if your'e getting flashed too often that means your beams need to be adjusted...
it's easy to tell if they arn't.. when driving on the freeway beside a wall/center divider/sound wall if the cut off line is angled up then you ned to bring it down..
adjust little bit at a time.. until it aims slightly down

i never get flashed.

HIDs are brigher than Halogens. Some people think yer high beams are on. The HID light is bright, but definitely not blinding.
