and nevermind the negative people, or the people that whine about light everywhere.

agree...do what the f&ck u want....then find the whiners on this page at night and ride them with your low's and fog's on
i'm not sayin that, but mine are properly adjusted, per the manual (1 inch drop from center of housing (thats what that circle is in the middle of your headlight) @ 20 feet ). (might be 25 feet, don't remember).

there is no light that goes over the straight line. Meaning to HIT THE BEAM, and get a BLINDING SHOT. you'd have to be eyelevel with my car, and be one inch lower, in the oncoming lane, at 25 feet away, to get rocked.

I don't drive around on the street in a go-kart, how about you guys?

need to have it turned to the highest setting to adjust ( or so it tells you to, if i remember right, not sure if you really have to have it on the highest ).

also, make sure the tool you're using actually turns in, rather than is just sitting on top.

if u dont mind ppl high beaming you opposite of you, go right ahead. Mines are HID and some people would turn their high beams on because the light shines everywhere. There is no way to adjust the beam because the light is not reflected or put through a filter. Its bright as hell, but does have its consequences. Make sure you get H11 and shoot anyone that tells you the fog lights are H7/

Why would you upgrade to HID hi-beams? It takes a few seconds for the HID to warm up. Unless you plan on leaving them on all night long ( which I doubt )

Even if you do convert the fogs to HID, the fogs light up the car right in front, below the low beams. They shouldn't blind anyone with HIDs or without.

You don't want HIDs on your hi-beams. They take a second to warm up so if you flash to pass, or flash for whatever reason it doesn't react quickly enough. But it also wears them out faster. Most high end cars have HID low beams, but halogen high beams for this reason. A few cars have HID high beams, but then they'll have auxilary halogens just for flash to pass.

Fog lights are designed to aim down and illuminate the area right around the front of the car, but with no cutoff. I think an HID fog will probably spill out too much, but I'm not sure.
