Don't get out much, do you?

Predominantly poor redneck towns sure have allot of people that don't like HID.

 

At least not to those areas

My sentiments exactly. Careful with that PWT judgement, it may offend some people, and remember...this is not a problem with them , it's a problem with us . Our headlights are the exception to the rule, not the rule. They put up with us, we don't put up with them. Ever been followed by another S2K? I rest my case.

My wife's CL has HIDs, but they don't seem nearly as bright as the S2k's. But then, her car doesn't bounce like a bareback bronc, either.

I was followed by 66 S2Ks and it didn't seem like a problem at all.

I have a similar problem with the city redneck Australians as well ... I always get flashed at least 4 - 5 times a night when I drive my S2K from people on the opposite side of traffic or people I just pass will turn on their high beams and start tailgating me anywhere in Sydney. Damn ... Sometimes, I just drive with my lights off and they flash me as well. What the hell is their problem? Bloody bastards! That's when I get really pissed off and start to screw them in the most unco-ordinated fashion.

 

Not sure about SoCal, but up in the Bay Area, making less than $50k/yr would likely put one in the poverty range so by THAT definition, we gots lots! and that doesnt include all the non-"W" folks that hate out lights!

I think our HID's with its sharp cut off combined with the stiff suspension does make for a "distracting lightshow" for oncoming and cars in front. My TL has HID's but because it has a diffuser, the edges are softer and you dont get that blue/purple edge of light.
