I thought the "PWT" statement was hilarious. LMAO! He was just joking people. Lighten up.

I used to live in a trailer house, I'm white, and I was poor. Guess I'm PWT and still think it's funny as hell.

Give it your best shot.

Again...I remind people, very few people here really know ANYTHING about the other with the exception that some of us own a "nice" car.

I usually can see S2000 from far away b/c they are one of
the brightest in factory HIDs... also b/c they bounce up and
down as the car go over bumps... they do not have the auto
leveling that is in many euro models...
(I might be wrong...)

Btw, what is PWT????

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

 

If everyone had self dimming rear view mirrors, we'd be all set.

What three towns did you pass through?

 

HIDs serve no purpose other than cosmetics.. The dang lights don't even come close to covering the entire spectrum of visible light compared to normal incandescent lights..

If anything, they should be used to supplement typical lights..

I admit they look cool, but they are a major distraction on the road and often dangerous if not constantly pointed towards the ground..

First, I owned a Stook before the option to enter your VIN was available. Even if I owned one now, I wouldn't enter my VIN. There's no reason to enter it, and nobody needs to know it. Plus, any info posted to this board could be subject to subpoena, and the courts can kiss my ass..

While I owned my stook I didn't think the HIDs were anything special other than they looked really cool. The edges of the light projecting were distracting actually. I prefer more ambient illumination as opposed to the "spotlight" effect the HIDs give..

As for the spectrum comment, i was wrong a little - the HIDs emit most of the spectrum but a heck of a lot more of blue than the rest - this mostly causes problems for oncoming drivers because our eyes are aparently extra sensitive to blue light..
