On a two lane road, meeting a vehicle, it is impossible to look down your lane without the oncoming lights being in your eyes. Plus, you should always keep an eye on any vehicle you meet, just defensive driving.
Your attitude, along with a few others, is very disturbing. Saftey for others should play a part in your driving habits and apparently, it does not. If you think about it, the concept of safety with lights is really no different than driving while intoxicated. You should be concerned about what you are doing to other people on the road.

Well i just took defensive driving and it says if an oncoming vehicle's headlights are too bright then you focus your eyes on the outside stripe of the road instead of complaining on the internet

Why did you start if You knew it was going to be beatings a dead horse?
Raptor - you are wrong stating halogens are better than pNp hids. 4300-6000k hids give out twice the light as stock yellow bulbs. You never answered my question on when hids become 'rice' I would say 10,000k+ is rice, or the purple, pink, green ones. But 5000 or 6000? Looks factory to me...

You should explain how bright lights cause decreased motor function, spatial awareness, and reaction times, like alcohol does. As someone who lost a friend as a victim to drunk driving I find your fake correlation appalling. Show me 1 police report where the cause was determined to be bright lights...

My lights make sure I can see and be seen. I can guarantee nobody will ever say 'I didn't see him' if they hit me.

Define "see" for me. You can see with halogens, cant you?
True, to an extent. The law limits how much light can be emitted from a vehicles headlights. Not only do HIDs exceed this limit (yes some of you smart people will also realize my lights are just as illegal as yours) BUT the angle at which they shine. HIDs reside in the focal centerpoint of the headlamp. On a halogen bulb this position is reserved for the high beam filament. The low beam filament is offset radially and axially to get an angled beam to avoid glare. So not only are you guys putting out more light, you're driving around with permanent high beams on 24/7.
Post hoc ergo propter hoc. So if someone hits you with OEM halogens, they are automatically going to claim they didn't see you?
To my knowledge, police records aren't readily accessible on the internet. But you should look up the "Mothball Effect."
tl;dr- people unknowingly drift towards blue lights at night (this is why FHP no longer runs blue in the rear, now amber and red).
I also have links to two studies here and here that verify blue lights not only cause increased amounts of glare (and keep in mind these were stock for stock, IE the only difference was color, the beam spread and intensity were the same) but also limiting eyesight and rod fluctuations at night.
