Are you guys with 100/130w headlights getting "flashed"?

[dbarwick@sprynet.com (Diamond Dave)]

People have always brighted me when I've had e-code lights. It doesn't
always have anything to do with having bulbs that are almost twice the legal
limit or poorly aimed lights. Look at all the HID equipped cars. I feel like
flashing them, even though their lights are laser aimed at the factory.

When I installed the relays for my PIAA Crystal Ion H4's (a VERY vivid
yellow) I noticed an even more pronounced "cutoff" in the light pattern.
Those bulbs, no longer available to the US market, are 90/130. Add that to
my H3 bulbs (100w) and I've got some serious output on High beams. That
could be related to my ticket from the Oregon Highway Patrol (long story).
That could also be related to both my low beam lenses being cracked...

The beauty of H4 especially with euro headlight is that the headlights have
an "horizon" line  unlike the us headlights, you can very nicely have high
output lights (I use 130/100w) and keep them below the peoples faces, I
adjusted mine , scirocco to another scirocco (low car) @ 25 feet distance
and my horizon line is set for the height in the middle of the license
plate. now my high beams are aimed at the height of the rear view mirror :)

never been flashed once yet, but when I flash, not even the SUV or pickups
stay in front of me :)
