It's because you have an HID kit in a halogen setup. Glare is going to happen. Take a picture up of that truck facing a wall at 20 feet, that'll give you a good idea of the glare you're putting in peoples faces.
Anything higher then 4 feet of the ground is contributing to blinding the oncoming driver.
Not bashing, just explaining the dangers of it.

Not only that, while I appreciate the posts as of late helping people and answering questions....we really need to work on the picture resizing. It's not so fun reading half you sentence and then scrolling to the right to read the other half.

don't know why that pic shows up like that, it was taken at the same time as the others on the same camera...everything exactly the same...

My aston came stock with 6k temp bulbs.... and they in no way make everything look "smurfy," go beyond that point and they will. A 6k bulb will really illuminate the road much more than a halogen..can't even really compare..
and as for the glare on my bike...you see it on the one side because my headlights function individually...One side is low beam and the other is high..my high is focused to shoot into peoples eyes on purpose during the day so all the grandma's and soccer moms see me...

I'm betting it's not as high as 10K in that truck, 10K would look purple. He could get that color and horrible output with blue tinted halogen bulbs
Sweet car by the way!
