The Second Sun

so I changed my Low beams, Higheams and Fogs

this is what my lowbeams look like (picture taken with flash)

anywho
my fogs are so powerful that they are shooting down AND up... (like.. predominatily down.. but a lot of light is going UP.. like enough light to light up a tunnel's ceiling as much as I light up the ground)
me and the guy who did the work cant find a solution to this..

any ideas?

nah
I love my second sun
it causes people to get out of my way.. and severe eye trauma for people who dare stick around for the highbeams...

they are at 14,000K or something of the sort
I can make them brighter by removing the cap on top of them

highly doubt they are 14000k....the higher the Kelvin..the less output. 8k barely puts out any light...id guess 14000k would be little more output than my clearance bulb...

bope
well they are bright but they dont light the road up THAT well
like.. it's LIT, but it is dark..
it's hard to explain

I feel like I used to see better with my original Xenons....
but the pissing off of people is priceless
so I'm sticking to them

When you say "changed my HB/Fogs, do you mean you retrofit some HID bulbs in there? Or maybe some other modified bulb? That would explain the bad beam pattern you seem to be having. Just a possibility.

i don't how happy you should be about pissing people off. hopefully one of these days you don't drive behind a cop and he sees those headlights glaring in his rear view. i would go for better lighting performance than looks, but that's just me. to each his own...

Yea, that is until you temporarily blind someone and their car comes smashing into yours. People never cease to amaze me.

Those are too glaring. someone will crash into you (i hope) or at least a cop will pull you over and give you more tickets than you deserve
