I notice people get out of my way on the fwy sometimes. Some parts of the 5 fwy my car bounces and I know the hids must be annoying as hell!

I don't think anyone has done it to me yet? However, the only problem is now if someone does it to me, I won't know if they're warning me of a cop/speed trap up ahead or my headlights--so I slow down anyway

People flash me, but never when I am in Atlanta. It really only happens when I visit a rural area in Georgia or S GA. People don't know of HID around those parts, so they can be stupid about it.

I realized last week that my drivers side was lower than my passenger side.
driver side is supposed to be slightly lower due to oncoming cars being on your left(SURPRISE!@#$@%#) side...sigh..


anyway...i get that sometimes...i normally just put the highbeams on to really blind them roflmao ...sorry but in my eyes they deserve it...if they then turn their hi beams off then yes i'll turn mine off..but if they hi beam me..they are getting blinded screw that shit i hate a-holes

Quite frankly I don't really mind getting flashed - if my lights are too bright for oncoming traffic, good - it makes up for the fact that we are so low, that almost all cars blind us, when they are behind us.
this is another thing...i use my side mirrors for other lanes...like if i'm on the highway my drivers side mirror covers the left lane..it stops at the side of my car and the passenger side covers the lane right to me...my rear view is used for REAR VIEW lol...so when i do get some moron behind me my side mirrors don't hit my eyes because they arn't pointed behind my car..and i just flip the rear view switch..problem solved...and now with 15% tint on the rear glass its even better hahaha no blinding for me!!!!

I have driven over 130,000 miles in S2000's and have NEVER been flashed by someone thinking I'm high-beaming them. Some of you guys probably have improperly adjusted HID's. There is a DIY somewhere on S2KI and the Helms manual also has the correct alignment procedure.

It's where you live, I think. The S is so low that it hardly bothers anybody in my area..

The one thing that pisses me off are SUV's with HIDs. Totally unneccesary..
