Nice quote, yea i was just comparing the difference that I've seen compared to projection headlights, they are not as concentrated but Like I also said, I have seen what they look like in oncoming traffice myself and while mayby "illegal" I still don't think that this would qualify as being "dangerous" I really doubt anyone is going to go swerving off the road at first sight of my headlights, if they were that bad Trust me I would have changed them already.

The question in my thread was not "what do you think of HIDs?", "Do you think I should change my HIDs?" or "Can you please lecture me on how DANGEROUS "Harsh" my headlights may be to you".

They are bright but I would not say they are "dangerous", ok yea so they are technically illegal, what mod isnt in VA.. I'll pay the ticket if I get one.

My question if the headlights are Legal was answered,

thank you.

Oh no worries. You continued talking after the question was answered so I thought we were continuing the discussion. I wanted to reiterate that they are dangerous as in the least they distract other drivers and that is the reason for the law. Distractions are dangerous for everyone around you and you should properly retrofit projectors and not be an unsafe driver. I don't know your personal car but there is no difference in any halogen mount reflecting HID beams at improper angles.

You yourself mentioned that you were flashed more than once. That is not a normal occurrence for a simple annoyance and you should take heart knowing that it is affecting other people on the street.

But again I will reiterate that I did not ask for your opionion on wether I should remove them or not or otherwises so much as hint that i wanted to know what you thought about anything past what the laws are. How many people on here do you think have cars that do not 100% conform to VA laws? lowering springs etc.. I also stated that I believe they are angled correctly.

You got one thing right, you do NOT know my personal car, so therfore I don't think you qualify to tell me if I am an "Unsafe Driver" or "A danger to those on the road". REALLY?

you seemed to be a very opinionated individual, but to be honest, I really don't want your opinion.

I guess it's my fault for thinking i could post a simple question on vadriven without getting flamed by some overly opinionated dousche. .

This thread is done, no more posts needed.
