It's about setting them up right, adjusting them correctly and not leaving your hi beams on. I've been stopped at RBT's multiple times at night and never had issues, driven behind HWP's and had HWP's driving the opposite direction... never had any issues.
If you're still interested in having a whinge about my car I'd be happy to meet or take some photos for you, until then give it a rest mate.
What does not having the high beams on have to do with swapping the low beams to HID???? I fail to see any connection.
That said whilst the reflectors do a pretty good job in the CJs at controlling the HIDs compared to some other (mainly older) cars, they still are glarey to other drivers on dark windy roads, etc. Before you ask I speak from experience and having been flashed a few times when I had my CJ however my problem was if I used incandescents they would keep breaking too quickly due to my coilovers and the s*** roads I was traveling on. Also numerous times after cruising with people they would *mum* about being in front of me due to the brightness of the HIDs.
I also was pulled over once by the HWP and given a warning to remove the HIDs because some of the truckies on the Pacific Hwy were whining about a car with its high beams on (I think they were referring to another car I saw earlier actually driving with high beams on but the fact my HIDs were so bright meant the HWP nabbed me for it). I was going to do a retrofit with the help of Trondy but sold the car before I got around to it.
