Hey that's nothing...there's a huge Cadillac convertible cruising around Plano Texas with HID's...and the fool has both low and high HID beams. Oh, and it is white w/ red interior and a set of horns on the hood--I was just like WTF!!!???[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]

Edit: I've also seen an idiot rally racer wannabe driving an older Impreza with a rack of off-road lights on the hood AND his roof!!! I don't even think it's the 2.5RS...looks like a 1.8L 4-cyl Impreza

I got real HIDs for my mountain bike, it is called CatEye Stadium 3. These are so bright that cars just stop when they see me, they think its a car or something.

Those Olds *NEED* HIDs... believe you in me.

For my dad's B-Day, I'm getting him Bi-Xenon HID system for his $hitty Toyota Previa minivan.. he's always complaing about how he can't see at night. He's even got 100W bulbs in there. I figure HID will cure this problem.

I need some HID on my car, but I think I want rims before that, but yeah I heard in Cali they are trying to get HID toned down because drivers are getting too distracted by it blinding them. I think its stupid but whatever

HIDS are hella expensive. Drivers of Acura TLs and CLs actually are at pretty high risk of headlight theft, just because thiefs always know that the car is gonna have HIDs. I actually saw 2 TLs a few months ago w/o headlights...looked like it had two black eyes. acura-tl.com had a lot of people talking about it for a while. So apparently there's a black market for xenons, and they can be retrofitted fairly easily into other cars.
