    Jon Shiroma? E30 On San Diego Newspaper Front Page...

    An article on the front page of today's San Diego Union-Tribune...

    My buddy Dan Tackett is quoted, how funny.

    Who is Jon Shiroma, and what else have you done to your E30?

    that article just pisses me off.

    damn old ignorant folk need to spend the last of their retirement money on a car with factory xenons to understand how much more light they produce (on the road) and to understand how much safer it is.

    if you're having glare problems by driving at night, then just take more caution, I mean, you don't see anyone complaining to the state about the sun being in your eyes at sunset, do you?

        Does anyone remember the people complaining about halogen headlights when they came out and they said that they where too bright. I've been blinded by alot of headlights mostly cause they are misaimed 97% of the time. And i wonder if the elderly people that's complaining now complained back in the 50's when car company's started to put quad headlights on their cars.

                      my car is low, i dont think my hids bother anyone.

                      suv's with hids are the worst.

                        the only time I ever have problems with HID's are on big SUV's where they point directly at your face, otherwise it's a complete non issue, its amazing if you just look off to the side, the blinding light magically is reduced to minor glare.

                          Look at this quote

                          "In recent years, more than 5,000 Americans have posted complaints about high-intensity headlights on a Web site run by the federal highway safety agency".

                          5000 americans out of how people live in the U.S? Millions.
