| Description of the problem | Blinding glare from the hid headlights, coupled with use of "fog lights" when no fog present. I find it harder each year to drive at night due to the situation which often cause you to loose sight of the road ahead. The hid lights mayu be within "spec", but perhaps the spec for hid liughts should be changed.*ak |
