And obviously less safe.Seems pointless now that everyone does it.
And then there's the little matter of it being illegal.
At least you haven't asked how to black out your headlights like a coworker wanted to do.
Reducing light output for the sake of cosmetic appearance has got to be the height of stupid car mods.

It's right up there with people who buy bright blue bulbs, or even worse put HID 'conversion' bulbs from ebay in their standard incandescent fixtures without changing reflectors.
Or putting fartcans on their Kia or Honda. Or. Or.
So many stupid things that people waste money on.

If those people would aim their lights, you wouldn't be blinded.
I have a quality HID conversion kit and I had the lights re aimed. Haven't blinded anybody as of yet. I would have had the highs flicked at me if I did.

Yeah. But, even people who have regular bulbs can blind the fuck out of you.
People need to learn how to adjust their headlights and check routinely to make sure it's not going way too fucking high and blinding people.
There is no such thing as a "quality HID conversion kit" that uses the stock non-HID housing and optics. The laws of physics make it impossible to get the same beam pattern because the light source itself is a critical factor in the resulting beam pattern. A filament bulb and a HID bulb have differently shaped light sources and place the source of the light in a different position. Either alone would make a proper beam pattern impossible when using a HID bulb in a housing designed for filament bulbs.
Using HID bulbs in a projector housing designed for filament bulbs will yield a sharp cutoff, but it will NOT yield a beam pattern identical to stock and is very likely to result in a beam pattern that is not legal.

"But, but but.......the guy on ebay swore they worked just like factory stock!"
You can flap your gums till they bleed, ZV, but your speaking of reality typically falls on deaf ears, unfortunately. Very, very few understand the optics of the headlight enclosure is vastly different when you compare HID to halogens.
But they don't care.....they read it's "just like stock" and that's what they choose to believe. Too bad, really, because it's all the other drivers who pay for their ignorance in blinding oncoming drivers. Wish the cops would ticket/remove these idiots and their cars from the road...pipe dream, I know, but I can wish.
Don't forget to add the cost of new taillights when you realize you how dumb tinted taillights are.VHT Nightshadez is a translucent spray paint that's used to tint lights...
Should take you a few hours and cost less than $30.
