I hate those car lights!,
Oh they'd be great on my car while driving, but being in a car heading
into them I hate it! Blinds the crap out of me in my wife's low sitting
car.
Doesn't bother me as bad in my truck.

I know what you mean. IMHO, they ought to be banned, except for use on high
beam, with a regular light for low beam.

I hate 'em with a passion. When I meet a car with those on at night I
darn near have to pull over and they claim they are easier on the eyes
of oncoming drivers. Maybe young ones, but the majority of drivers
are now in the middle age and older class.

I don't know if there are any stats on crashes being caused by blindness
from oncoming cars with HID's, or if there ever has been a crashed cause by
HID blindness. There have been times when I felt unsafe, because of being
temporarily blinded by those things on two lane roads.
