I installed a set of JJ's HID's in my projector lenses about 2 weeks ago. They are by far the best headlights I have ever driven with, however every morning my way to work I am getting flashed by multiple people trying to tell me my brights are on. So I flash them back letting them know they indeed are not. Part of me feels bad but then they are so great I don't want to change it. Anyone else have a problem getting flashed daily?
(I know what I just set up)

Are they adjusted a little too high? or does this happen more often when you're coming over a hill? I get flash from time to time when coming over hills and the oncoming car is in my headlight beam, but that also happens with halogens.

This happens all the time with cars that come factory with HIDs too.

You're also lifted.. so you're running a brighter light that's now aimed higher. Re-aim them

I agree they need adjusted but if anything I would say they need adjusted up not down. I would think this would make the situation worse. I understand with the lift its putting the lights right through people's windshields but it just seems like it's happinng more than it should be.

Yeah you should move the lights down because of the lift. You'll still get flashed but not as much. Other drivers don't care much for HID'S lol!

I was really hoping this was going to contain pictures of the other type of flashing! Yea, you set it up and was just following up, since nobody else did. :D
