I just can't bring myself to do it ! I hate those damn HID lights ! I hate other cars having them, they are just WAY, WAY too bright for normal driving. I like my normal lights for everyday use, but when I am out in the back roads, on the trail, or just away from civilization and lights, it would be nice to have a couple extra switches for more lighting. Plus, that bar just looks nice !!

Once they get to too high of a K value that they start to turn blue, they become worthless in weather. Two of my friends have 8000k in their chevy trucks and it sucks in the rain.
I run 6000k and have been through blizzard white-out conditions in the Cascade mountains, and the 6000k lit up everything, it was quite impressive. Our convoy of cars was the last let through that night before they closed the interstate, and the conditions were bad. They actually asked me to lead the convoy since my lighting was so good and i had 4x4 with chains on the front tires.
Most of my driving with this truck (in the dark) is out on backroads and country interstate before/after hunting for the most part, so i really have no problem running these lights.
However, i never run the fog HIDs unless i am offroad with no oncoming traffic. The fog housings are the ones that really blind people badly since there is nothing in front of the bulb. The headlight housings have the chrome piece in front, its really not that bad.
But like you said, different strokes for different folks. I personally cant live without them.
