This might be just me but...

I installed HID's in my cl9 over the weekend and i've been loving them, but yesterday i was driving behind my mate who has an MR2 (which is extremely low) told my that my lights were pretty much blinding him.

Now i've never been in a car with stock HIDs so i cant compare the brightness.

in this picture you can see that the HIDs can be seen on the building with is at least 100 meters away.

I will attach more images later if needed, but when you installed HIDs were they that bright? did you change the angle of the lights. (these are 6000k lights running off a 55W ballast)
