Compared to standard lights, the HIDs provide no more than 10 feet of illumination then they cut off, and it's very difficulty to see what's coming beyond that.

Right now, I frequently have to switch over to the high beams in order to see on low light roads, and despite loving how they look, I'm wondering if for safety reasons I shouldn't switch them out with regular non-HID headlights.

Is there anyway the lights can be adjusted so that they provide a better view of what's coming?

Thanks in advance!
And this is exactly why I hate HIDs. Bright, bright, bright BAM nothing!
If they are aimed too low you can possibly bring them up a bit but if at the top you can not go further without running the risk of blinding oncoming traffic.
