HID lights are more of a priority then those explorers that cant stay on all for wheels.

I get blinded by the lights off of SUV's or trucks that are behind me....are they going to do away with those? I think its just another media explosion. They had nothing else to cover a story on. Oh well i'm sure it will blow over.

NHTSA is going to look at the HID's, look-alike HID bulbs and trucks. I doubt anything will happen to the HID's, the look alikes are already illegal and the trucks might have something done to them.

I was behind this corolla for like 10 minutes. I think my lights bothered the driver as he stuck out his/her middle finger. As I drive by them they tell me to turn off my high beams. I was like WTF!!!

There is no way they will get rid of HIDs.....

Most good HIDS are autoleveling...Are the HIDS in the S2000 autoleveling?

I also have experienced the HIDs on other stooks with no problem whatsoever...of course at the time I was in my S2K - so maybe the solution is for all vehicles EXCEPT the S2K to be banned...then all would be harmony!

look man, I complained AGES ago about the Aztec when I coined the term "Ponticrap", which I am now taking in royalties for usage.

"Ponticrap" is good, but I prefer "Quite possibly the most hideous vehicle in the world."

In the US they are not.
