You'll adjust. And then you'll love them! They are awesome! They go out farther and wider than any other car I've been in with HIDs.
you should check out the 996 turbo's HID's...they are PURE white.....i can turn my headlights off when driving next to one

Yeah, figured as much. Just ordered a pen from Autovisuals.

It's okay to ride the clutch a little, right? I do think I took it too far when I could smell something after practicing moving very slowly on an uphill slope.

So, what's the best shifting technique to move like, 2-4 miles per hour in traffic? Seems like 1st doesn't like being so slow when fully engaged.

Yeah, of course I keep it in first. It seems that the car doesn't like to go so slow when in first. Gets jumpy.

Yes it does. You will learn how to control it with time.

We, here at the board, like to call it "the kanagroo effect".
