So I'm still waiting for a phone call from them, since every time I call it rings 3x then the automated VM picks up and says all customer representatives are currently busy and to e-mail them and do not leave a VM b/c it will not be returned. lol odd...I'll keep trying and wait for my e-mail response.

to anyone running HIDs, readjust them afterwards, 2 easy screws right where the fender meets the engine, that way I wont have to read about all these people who they "blind"

Or do not use the fog lights at all with oncoming traffic cause they are blinding. I only use them when I'm totally alone as I use them like highbeams they are so bright. Especially in town when there's plenty of light.

Sweet! Ya I have not ordered mine yet, probably won't for another 2 weeks. Recently got into a little fender bender and insurance is going to go through the roof if I don't just pay out the damages, Like 8 grand in the 5 years!!! So I will be headed up to the oil sands here in Alberta to make some dough, (currently laid off so was minding my cash :P) Then I will be putting them in!

I needed them a few days ago! This jacked up tundra with his bright white hids, which were not adjusted was lighting up my truck. (Just looked like a direct replacement, no projectors, no adjustment EVEN WITH THE LIFT) I could not imagine how the cars were feeling! I flicked my cargo light at him, no change. Of course MANY oncoming were flicking too. Guy didn't change his lights. Slowed down let him pass and tried to beam my highs in his rear view but he was too high. In this case I wish I had some nice hellas on the top to beam in there, I don't want to give into road rage but when hes lighting up my truck (I probably would have been blinded if I didn't have dimming mirrors) its too fricken high. I wish now I got his plate number and reported him to the cops.

Its guys like these I despise! EVERYONE was flicking at him, but no change, he didn't seem to care! At least most of us "try" to adjust our lights. Or might give off a little bit of glare, but we try to get a happy medium!

Aghhhh...fender bender in the RAM?! Hope all is okay w/ the truck if so.

Tunda=*******...haha That's one reason in my truck I have 5% limo tint all the way around, for the a-holes who don't know how to adjust anything. I can turn the auto dimmer off and still doesn't bother me. My favorite is when a lowered down honda civics, acuras or whatever vehicle EXTREMELY slammed down and flashes there lights at me after I pass b/c they think I have my highs on w/ my HIDs....no stupid it's the fact that they are 1" off the ground...then they flash or leave there high's at me and it does NOTHING.

Back on topic, It'll be nice to have those in my truck for the higher up vehicles riding my rearend, flick that switch on....then when I wire in my manual reverse light switch for the slammed cars tailgating me

Ya the rams ok, but they wrote the 04 cavalier (with 300K) off that I pulled the front bumber cover off of. I just need to do is buff out the paint on the right side and find a new end cap for my side step. 50 dollar fix I hope. 1500 dollar write off for her with 500 towards rentals. AND they take her car! The RAMS TOUGH! hehe

Ya and your running projectors arent you? I had one guy like that too, no idea if i mentioned it here or not. Not to mention just HIDS either, there are some fools that will adjust their stocks up way to high! I agree that some have to go up a little but again we are back to the whole PROPERLY adjusting them!

Im hoping that based on the light output and the angle of the light that its not going to matter if its slammed or lifted. They should be at that perfect distance to blind them. Or in nicer terms, BACK OFF BUD!

Well at least your okay and the RAM is still in good shape, from the way it sounds.

Yes I am running projectors ... and they are aimed properly just some people think bc there car is 1/2" off the ground I need to adjust mine down.
