Other drivers don't appreciate my 2013 GT HID's
#41
Any 2013 GT other owners constantly have other drivers flash their brights at you because your headlights are so bright?
I think it's my fog lights...I loooove how my car looks with the fog lights on. They are pretty bright but I think most of the time I get flashed because they see 4 lights. Haha. Let em' get all crazy flashing, then BAM! I flash mine and say how you like those bright lights?! Had a guy yesterday in the neighborhood pull over, let me pass. He got behind, turned on his brights and left him on which I thought was hilarious because his brights were not even close to what mine were when not on bright...wait...does that make sense?
Guess I shouldn't use my fog lights since my car lookin' sic is not as important as someone not being able to see while driving.

I've never been flashed when driving with my fogs on. I tell ya though, at night I can see the road so much better with them on.

Seriously, if you KNOW it's causing problems for other drivers...why continue to use them if they aren't needed? Intentionally doing something that clearly bothers other drivers simply because you want your car to look cool running down the road isn't cool, it's just simple douchebaggery.
It only causes problems to other drivers when they stare directly into them, trying to figure out if the brights are on... so they can flash back and get their jollies off. When staring into lights, they may appear bright. shocker!
Buttplug, run your fogs if you want to run your fogs! They are LED's for goodness sakes. Don't cave in to other peoples' stupidity!

I've had the same issue with my factory stock HIDs. One of my ricetard friends thought they were aftermarket and kept asking if the company that made mine would have a set for his Honda. To this day he still thinks their not from the Ford Factory.
I've also had the occasional "high beam flash" from other drivers on the opposite side of the roadway.

I always run all 4 at night. I usually get brights flashed at me about once a week. I drive down some roads with no street lights when I get closer to home, so I like being able to see better. I have had oncoming Mustangs drive with all 4, and they don't blind me. I think 07BlackGT is right, as soon as they see 4 lights then it has to be the bright lights, regardless if it impairs their vision or not.

For some reason i have no light at all in the day, turning my light would pop my hid headlight, pulling the light would pop my
Fogs but the problem is I got the eleanor bumper with mounted fog plus the regular fog, i cant turn off only 2, they are all tied together, ill see if i can get a switch installed to control my big fogs, but for sure i see 100% time better with the 4x fog on and it look great, never been flashed yet, i got smooth 4000k white headlights HID and white led bulb for fog, here in canada it not really legal to ride with night at all in daytime, ive seen alot of cervini body kit mustang rolling with only the mounted big fog on in daytime, actually look clean, but ill keep my setup this way until I get warned. Anyway I suck in Car electricity
Oh i forgot, i also have my orange side markers open when my light are on, imo they mix terribly with my white light themes

Used to get flashed all the time. Got tired of it, but still wanted to run the aux lights. So, a quick install of some extra smoked vinyl film (used to tint the home windows <this is Texas!>) solved the problem with the unhappy motorists, but still gave enough extra light to fill in the gap between the headlights on the road. Win/win
