HID's actually draw less power after the initial startup

don't put the HID's in the stock housing. You'll blind every **** you pass. Do a retrofit!

10K's aren't as bright as say 5K's and not to mention the color is annoying!

Do what I did... Buy a eBay HID kit, and then buy the proper relay harness kit off of 3BSpec for $15...

There you go, awesome HID's done right for about $80...

It's false comments like that, that cause the dumb kids here to put them in stock housings.
HID's dazzle on coming traffic.... end of story.

Do I have to dig up my thread again?
Glare is glare. They all do it. Projectors (like in a BMW) won't let the beam past the cut off... reflectors, however, do allow glare, and light above the middle of the light.

I've heard more than enough denial in my day. Some people claim 'they don't glare' or 'they don't dazzle'. Really, they do. If you're prepared for the on coming glare spot you react differently to the road and the light. However, many other driver out there don't expect a shot of super lumen in their eyes after dark... leading to the dazzle effect.

I'll put it this way... if it's all fine... why are HID's in stock housing BANNED in many countries?
