Just take in thought...how do people who see aftermarket HID's feel?
It's horrible, even after a long trip a few hours in. Late at night and you see a car coming in with HID's horribly adjusted, makes me want to tailgate. I digress...

My mind went to this:
  I haven't adjusted my settings, but I had the missus drive in front of me at various distances in her VW Rabbit. She reported that it wasn't more annoying than the next HID-equipped car. The input was provided in real-time over the phone at said various distances.

I'm surprised your getting flashed, especially considering how low the twins sit.
The stock projectors have a pretty decent cutoff too. Have you made any adjustments? Nick C.

there are 2 scrolls on your left side parallel to your steering wheel one is to adjust the lamination of your interior/ gauges the other one on the right adjusts where your low beams are pointed. i think you have it pointed too high turn on your headlights at night and play around with the position.
edit: damn too late lol
