Blue isn't better for increasing vision during night:

Edit: this was the first thing I found when I googled HID and visibility keywords, I can dig up more if you like.
So it's just cranking up the brightness, which annoys the hell out of me, I do a lot of night time driving and all of my vehicles are relatively low. Every time I drive a car with HID's I feel like my high beams are on all the time except for the cutoff bit, if I need to see extra distance I use the high beams, that's what they're for. I feel better with halogens because they don't annoy other drivers and allow me to see well.
Factor in the initial cost difference and it's a no brainer for me.
You can talk about how if they're set up properly and balast yada yada, I don't like the trend (fucking tesla's look great until they're tailgating you at midnight) and I hope it goes away. I'm not going to tell everyone to die in a fire for using them, I just don't like them and I put my money where my mouth is.
