oh man alive. I hate trucks with aftermarket bulbs of any sort. why because with my car lowered if the truck is aligned perfectly behind me i headlight shines in one mirror, the other into the other and they both blind me with my rear view.

Now when it comes to cops harrassing you, really they will only be a douchebag if you are being one. I drive the speedlimit 90% of the time and haven't been bugged for anything (knock on wood). See alof of people don't know how HID's work. you need a projector headlight (you know looks like a round glass ball) because when the light hits it, it creates a cut off. without it you get scattered light which blinds any on coming traffic. with prices dropping in the past 2 years (kits used to be like $500 and now you can find one for $120) alot of people have them. and most are impropperly installed. than again there are always the guys who have the leveling adjustment (oem) and raise their headlights. lol i can keep complaining cause i have headacks from people driving at light behind me.

I wasn't trying to defend that guy's behavior, just pointing out the the HID lights are really annoying for lower vehicles. I can't understand why people get into such a fit when they are driving, it's just sad. If I were in your shoes I would have been on the phone to the cops right away.

However I have to admit to having pulled over and gotten out of the car when some guy was tailgating on the highway invited me to do so. Once he got a look at me the idiot ran back to his truck even quicker than I thought he would. Made for a good laugh but I've always wondered why somebody would get that mad over me only going 130 in the fast lane to pass some rigs to that kind of confrontation.
