HID's Or HAlogen bulbs...

These threads are great entertainment........ everyone wants better lighting, but then bashes any form other than the one they choose because it is too bright, or offending to oncoming traffic.

Here is just a few of my opinions... Silverstars are great, brighter than stock, however same pattern as stock. People running E-Codes such as autopal, hella, ipf or cibie can get away with brighter bulbs.... halogen, led or HID. Why, because the Euro Code lighting pattern throws light to the right of the truck, and when adjusted properly, does not blind oncoming traffic. Now any of the light choices being mentioned, adjusted higher than normal or stock, will blind, even the cheap stock halogen.

Something about the bluishlight light is particularly effective at blinding me. Don't know why that is

Thats a color choice... not all HIDs are bluish....

Even the white ones I've seen are cool white, like a LED

A 4300K bulb is very close to natural sunlight. But most people want to run the whiter bulbs. If I were to do HIDs again, it would be a 4300K setup.

Guess its like anything, you only notice the bad ones
Unforunately HIDs have become trendy, and there are a lot of bad installs running around.
