I hope you have projectors or are at least considering a projector retrofit as well.

Otherwise, you're going to be just another one of those douchebags with blinding HIDs in reflector housings that I constantly have to deal with on the roads here.

Seriously, consider a projector retrofit as well for your and everyone else's sake. Not only will you reduce light scatter (benefiting yourself), you also won't blind everyone else (benefiting others).

Why have people become so inconsiderate these days? And worse still, not care about safety?

It's still possible to upgrade your car and have fun without being a douche!

On my headlight I aim then lower then what it comes stock. So it doesn't bother people. So if it does here in ny they will flicker the high beam at you. So I don't have that problem

That's fine if you have projectors. Without them, the light is thrown everywhere, so whether your lights are pointed low or not won't matter that much.

At least you got a step in the right direction, but HIDs are designed to be used in projectors for a reason.

It sucks that there are people like that in this community. Not the type i want representing bmw fans but it is what it is. I would say "that's what happends when young people are able to buy these cars" but im 20 and this is just plain ignorance.

You'll find common sense is lacking in this day and age.
