Opinions on JDM headlights..
Just a few ?'s do any of you guys or gals that have the JDm projectors (RHD) get pestered about blinding oncoming traffic in the bay, and also how is the light output, looking to get some but not sure on about the light quality...
Thanks Rocky

I've been flashed a couple times. I have JDM's w/ brighstar 5000k HID's. No doubt does it blind peope, but when i get blinded by oncoming traffic i never flash my lights so i bet the same goes for others. I've been meaning to open the lights up and mod the beam pattern for some time now.... just afriad they wont seal and they will turn all foggy.
edit: yea and about the lighting. It's just alright. The hid's helped but because of the pattern it doesnt put that much light where you want it. I got a great deal on the lights ($300 for jdm's, $200 for hid's) so i'm not complaining, but i would much rather have EDM's.

the STIs HIDs come with a little **** so you can dial them down a bit so you can be considerate and not blind people(haha, as if!
) I keep them at full high, even though Ive only got flashed a couple times, which is nice becuase then I get to flash the big guns at them and make them feel stupid and envious of my illumination superiority, ha!
