that last picture was taken on a black top surface, thats where 'colored' lights usually fail in performance cuz TOO blue or TOO purple hids won;t shine for ____ on dark/black surfaces, but as u can see, mine still shine just as fine =)
hell i cast shadows on all those little rocks and pebbles lol.
please comment, haters are welcome! please hate, flame or diss my car as u see fit.

i ____ing said ur lame ___ yellow lights burn at ____ing HOTTER and HIGHER wattages than your stock, thats WHY its brighter than stock if ANY.
my hids don't emit any glare that blind on coming traffic, i compared it to many hid cars, and many other cars, and even test drove it a lot of times to get the hieght level correct.
maybe u need a little CAR LIGHTING 101,

it explains a lot about hids. theres MUCH more hid forums and threads and FAQ's out there, not like you'd be interested, i didn't do anything besides tell u your headlights burn at a higher wattage, thus generating more heat, maybe even MELTING the housing., they sell "HIGHER WATTAGE" wiring kits because your stock wires weren't mean to handle that amount of current.
you can rock your yellow bulbs all u want, ill put my stock headlight bulb in one headlight and BE GLAD to show u in person how stupid ur car looks.
OH BTW, everyone thats reading this, can u please show me where i mentioned ANYTHING about DOT approval? heres this dumbass's post.

first off, i want to make sure u understand, hids aren't exactly based on price.
u CAN if u're lucky pay dirt cheap for a ebay kit and have it be REALLY good quality.
OR you can goto your local automotive tuning place and pay big bucks for a hid kit and have it be ____ for quality. theres a hid place i take all my fellow scions and buddies to, its in san gabriel valley, ca area.
he installs, aims and test drives ur car, its about 450-475 installed INCLUDING a 1 or 2 year warranty! its awesome, he uses IPF (all made in japan componets)

Have you posted a "How-To" for the glare / cutoff shield? Are you using stock housings? Did you try the HID without the glare guards? I want to get HID for my xB when I get it this coming up week. Just want to do it right and not blind everyone approaching me. Thanks for any input!!
