In my experience HID lighting is much like H4 euro lighting. very
innocuous from the "right" angles, absolutely blinding and irritating
from others - like when the other car is coming over a hill, shifting
and accelerating, going over bumps, etc.
I think no one should have headlights except me.
I also think that we should get rid of headlights entirely and electrify
the roads so they glow in the dark. Problem solved...
