Hid Wagon

[Cobra]

I have been thinking of jumping on the Hid Wagon. Problem is I get people flashing their high beams at me time to time. I see them adjusting thier rear views, some get mad get behind me and put their high beams on which I usually ignore I have limo or factory smoke fuckem! Then their are those who start to slow down and slam on their brakes! these stupid people piss me off! I'm still running the factory bulbs that came with the Tahoe. I don't know if it is how my truck sits that cause this. Yes it is mostly people with cars and no tint. Does anyone else have this issue? That is the only thing holding me back I don't need problems.

Stop tailgating and they probably wont get mad ant you.

Do you have your headlights correctly adjusted? Maybe they sit a bit high and need to be turned down a little or something. Check that you light image is correct.

ha! Really I'm not tailgating. I am when they start to slow down but, that's cuz they already are pissed at my lights.

See thats the thing I have never adjusted my lights. The lights are as they were from factory. I have not messed with the suspension either besides the 22" I do know most Tahoes have a slight front rake. Mine does not it sits pretty level. I sometimes think this maybe the reason.

Then that could prolly be it. In my country you have to go to a car inspection thingy once a year. They check all the vital points on the car, brakes, rust, lights and so on, so its road legal and safe. And one thing they check is the light image. Wich often has been wrong for me. Takes about 5min to fix but does a world of diffrence.

adjusted down a tad, best I could and still be fine, but since my truck is lowered, been flashed twice in about 9 months.

Yea just adjust them down man, it will help alot. Will put out a nice pattern on the road to. I have had my HID in cheap ebay housings for about two months now and never got flashed. Even if it does bother someone, im not going to lose sleep over it.

Pm me for the link for HID kits for $42 Cobra. Ill hook you up if you would like.

yea they are probably aimed high, but HIDs are one of the best things ive done to my truck, i love them. if you think about it most newer cars have bright looking headlights if your looking right at them at night if you dont have tint, its mainly the people in cars that get mad cus there lower to the ground and it points right at them. but i live my HIDs and purposely raised mine up so i can see better and i think its funny when people keep flashing the high beams at me...but thats just me, im a A hole

+1 on that. Good looking out, i findmyself standing in front of my trk just t look at the HIDs. This was my first vehicle in 7 years without HID. I will be hooking the fogs up pretty soon

ha! yeah I really do have a good line of site with factory bulbs in the position they are in. Sometimes when people get mad I light them up with all 4 and really piss them off.
It's just I am not looking for trouble and some people always starting shit. I don't need that. I guess if I decide to go that route I will have to lower them a bit.

 

[ROBERTOcritser]

if youve only got your lows on and someone is gettin pissed, throw the high beams on for about 15 seconds and let them know what they could be lookin at then they will appreciate the low beams. haha

Lol I've had t do that before.

 

[NJ04HOE]

I say do the HID's and re-aim your lights, I've never heard of anyone being flashed with stock bulbs so they must be adjusted wrong.
I used to get a kick out of being flashed or people slamming on brakes in front of me, that would just give me a reason to hit my highs and all of my lights come on Lows,Highs,DRL's,and HID fogs and if that didn't piss them off enough I would hit the strobes.

yea but the HIDs are pretty much brighter than the factory high beams lol

 

[Young28]

i get it on the daily in my 2500 o well. i think mine are actually aim down a tad to much but im sure if i re aimed them then it would only get worse lol

 

[Cobra]

Thought I'd post a pic of my factory lows and fogs. I think they probably are up to high but, I think I have good visability & That's the way she came from dealer. I don't know I might be able to see beter than you hid guys. j/k lol Dam you should see all 4 light up! I know it's not the cool white light.

 

["350Vortec"]

Your lights are adjusted way to high. Your truck should not be shooting that far out from the front end . And your driver side headlight needs to be adjusted left. Thats why you have a shadow. Trust me, HIDs will make that beam of light even more widespread and just make everything on the road more "living" and "vivid"

 

[MOBmentality]

Yea it almost looks like they were too high and someone adjusted them to the right a hair to try and compensate.. down and to the left a lil .. for sure.. then back them bishes with some 55w hids and ftw lol

 

[ecordell]

back and to the left..........back and to the left............back......and to the left.....

^ It's a quote from a movie, anyone figure it out?

like a couple people said, adjust those babys level and get after the HIDs

 

[Cobra]

yeah. I'm gonna do it. Been looking at that DDM hid deal in the exterior thread. Looks and sounds like a good deal. Just deciding on 35w or 55w 6k. Don't wanna screw up the headlight housing. Apexcone raptor or slim ballast. must be rubbing off FROM the wife UNDECISIVE.
