[QUOTE="Intimidator, post: 1161364, member: 4874"] There is a lot of missinformation out there about HIDs. The best halogen "kit" doesn't even come close to the lumen output on the worst HID kit. Some of the best halogens out there put about 700 lumens. The weakest HID kit you can get will put out slightly over three times that amount. As far as range goes, any object at a set distance will be over four times more visible with an HID setup as oppesed to a halogen setup. And concerning the "glare myth," a properly aligned headlight (HID or otherwise) will produce minimal glare. The problem is that with HIDs are a lot more powerfull, so if they are incorrectly aimed they will produce a lot more "glare." I've been driving with mine for over a week now and have yet to be flashed at by oncoming traffic. [/QUOTE]
