Story time!!!
So, I like light (who doesn't?). I also like driving around. I decided to equip my car with HIDs. So I did my research, found out no matter what, they are illegal. I did it anyways, but tried to be safe about it. I got some Nissan Infinity FX OEM projectors, secured them in my headlights, long story short: My car now has some really good forward lighting that doesn't compromise others' vision.
The downside: there is a cutoff that keeps me from seeing all the way down the street (I aimed mine conservatively, no auto-level). When I'm driving down country roads at night I'm constantly activating and de-activating my bixenon projectors to give myself a little more light ahead.
The unexpected side effect: I am much more concentrated on driving and making sure I can see everything I need to without compromising others' ability to drive. I dunno, it gives my mind something to do while driving. But then again, that's me, I like light and driving.
