Story of my life, m8.
This or people who just get the wrong bulbs, or drive on with their brights so they can "see better".
I am really glad my car's lights angle down and spread most of their light below the window lines on people's cars so I know I am not making it harder for them to drive.
>drive a veloster
>same story
>tfw my car came with HID's from the factory
Is there a way to tell them during the daytime when they're off?
Someday, I want to go out with a bat and just smash all of the ones I find. And foglights on Corsas and Clios so they won't use them during the day.
I'm already keeping spare pennies in the cupholders in case one tailgates me.
Every fucking Punto. Every fucking Punto I passed by so far have blinded me. I don't drive lowered nor low car and I don't hate on that model. Fucking how?
Just look into the headlights, you can clearly see if a car has halogens or hids if it doesn't have projectors.
I've never blinded anyone. But then again I'm not running xenons, just some phillips whitevision halogen bulbs.
>I've never blinded anyone.
I hope so. At some point I was to buy a second gen Punto but with that in mind I... hope 2012 Punto doesn't have fucked up lights.
There are fuckloads of Puntos around here and I've never been blinded by one, desu.
Maybe the mk2-I has that issue because of those projector lenses. Never noticed it on the Mk3-I-II/III.
I have a MK2 and the only time I was blidingin people was when I had changed my headlights and hadn't adjusted them
ayy lmao
other than that, no punto ever blinded me.
>except for their beauty ;))
>fuckhueg pickup gets behind me
>both headlights right in each side mirror
>press the power folding mirror button
>mirrors fold in
>not blind anymore
Thanks based japanese domestic market for making power folding mirrors that bolt right on to my USDM car
What bbs wheels are those?
How to sound like a middle aged woman in menopause l, the thread.
How to sound like a brainless douchebag, the post.
I hope your ballasts completely fry your electrics.
Any one that does this to me gets a nice flash from my LED "Fog lights" which are really "LED WORK lights" or so said the box.
I wont do this unless its REALLY obvious that they botched the retrofit job and its just shining directly into my eyes.
They wanna be inconsiderate and rude with their shitty illegal HID "retrofit" then they can fuck right off and stare into my even more intense LEDs....
I hope they run off the road, its a legit fucking hazard depending on how bright they are and how they reflect off the OEM (designed for HALOGEN BULBS) enclosures they are in.....
Just yesterday I crossed my path with a E91 with these bright as fuck almost purple hids.
Literally couldn't see shit in front of me.
>bright as fuck almost purple hids.
I see these every now and then, prime example of the worst of the worst...
hate those autist...
>I've never blinded anyone
How do you know?
>>get blinded a billion times by people who poorly retrofitted hid kits in their cars, using stock halogen lenses
It's almost like a Xenon theatre spotlight into your eyes when they use the lens "passive offensively" like that. The police do see that and remove them from the road. They also don't like having xenon spotlights shined in their direction.
If you see one, try to report the plate. If the police get MULTIPLE calls from unrelated people about the same perpetrator, they will enter a low-priority item into the computer. The next time a police cruiser is in the same area as the perpetrator's home that day, the geo-locator will pop up a message to the officer and he'll check out the car in the next 24 hours.
Or you can call your state patrol and they might check it out right away since the state tends to take care of state laws more often than local police do.
>I'm already keeping spare pennies in the cupholders in case one tailgates me.
That's the advantage of a sunroof. You can open it and throw pennies out at 60MPH and it will crack their glass windshield. It's the best kind of roadrage where you cannot get caught for it. The police won't punish obnoxious drivers, so it is up to the rest of us to compel others to become non-asshole drivers. It sucks that the asses only respond to negative tactics like punishment. Being nice and polite only means they stomp all over you and laugh in disdain. They have no respect for the other long-suffering well-behaved drivers. Well, we just won't take it no more!
Anyone who feels the need to replace factory lights with stronger/weaker (""""economic"""") lights is a fucking retard. Just flash your high beams at them. Maybe after a few people blind those assholes in return, they'll learn their lesson.
Also, turn your fucking foglights off at night.

It makes no sense that people install these. It's only a matter of days before the police sees it and gives them a "FIXIT Citation". Those types of tickets require signed verification from a shop that the problem is fixed. After the problem is fixed, the shop signs the form and drops it in the mail. Easy and done for everyone. The driver better not re-install another bad light though because repeat offender gets a huge insurance rate hike because it is a 2nd safety violation.
Because my headlights are halogen, and properly adjusted and I've looked at them.
Plus, nobody flashed me.
The trend now is using hids and yellow foglights.
If the po-po gets bothered here, you won't receive a "fix-it citation." Your car gets impounded and you're forced to pay an hefty fine plus secondary roadworthiness inspection which is about 200 or something euros.
What really bothers me even more are those guys with old as fuck corsas and whatnot running hids.
They look like a fucking ufo on the road.

Wow, like a punch in the face. Over here, the state gov't doesn't want you to get problems by losing the car. Towing, Impounding, and fining would be added to the fee of repairing the car, and that might cause someone to not afford that car (thus losing it). Not having a car can cause a cascade of problems for the person because we are a "Right To Work" state which basically means you don't have the right to work as it is a privilege to work - you can be fired for any reason as long as it is not against the USA Constitution. So if you're late just once for not having a car, you can be fired. So that is why the state uses FIXIT citations instead of impound for cars that are "unsafe" to drive.
