I've been blinded by stock Maxima's, S2000 and plenty of BMWs at night. My HID's are in a halogen housing and I have aimed them low.

I've been high-beamed by people in my Civic but I've been high-beamed in a friend's S2000 aswell.

For what its worth, I have 4300k w/ halogen hi-beams.

Yeah in driving school it says you are 15% more visiable, so I keep them on.

BS.... I have stock HIDs and get flashed EVERY NIGHT. This is a common thing with S2000s as I found on S2ki.com and honda-tech. And it certainly does improve your vision, my friend with a 2000 dc4 got HIDs and he said his vision improved dramatically, we both noticed a difference. His gives a good strong beam.

And for the record, if they don't turn off their high-beams, I leave mine on. I have a motherfucker in his caddy flash me as I was approaching a cross-walk, it blinded me and I almost ran someone over.
