Question Tell when people high beam?

It doesn’t seem like I can tell when people are flashing high beam, cause it looks like 25% of people are doing it. I think its cause of all the HID systems out there and the crotch rockets.
Anyone else ever notice this?

People think I always have my high beams on with my TYC Projectors. Whenever they flash me I show em what I really got when I flash my brights right back at them.

People always flash their brights at me. I have OEM Cleared Headlights with PIAA HID SUPER WHITE bulbs. They are 100 watt low beams...and 130 Plus high beams.
