Umm no stop talking out of your ass. I was not banned recently, and I do not plan to ever get banned. Sorry if you do not agree with me, but that is no reason to call for a ban. In fact, it is you with the mentality that is not needed here. Sorry if you cannot inteligently discuss a topic like the rest of us are...
attention whore? I'm a bit confused on that, don't think SVT Cobra has ever been doing things for attention. His auto detailing guide and protein guides contribute more than what most AT'ers will ever give to the forums.

I don't have HIDs but I think they look neat. I drive on rural roads mostly, and I find I am blinded more by idiots who forget their highs are on than from HIDs. So no, don't ban them.

All he is doing is bitching. That is a classic sign that he is an attention whore. If the guy has nearly 12,000 posts in 2 years, clearly he isnt getting enough attention in reality, so he has to come on here to get it.

Same here, I find Im blinded more by idiots with high beams on because they are jealous because of the people with HID that can actually see where they are going. I think they are cool and plan on getting some myself in the future.

I've noticed it's not really a problem with the headlights, its more people tend to follow their deer friends and stare right into the headlights of the oncoming car. Watch the road, not the car.

I think they are annoying as hell and should be banned, along with pcnerd37 for being a douche.

I drive a Honda CRX, you don't deserve to complain about the headlights of others.

I will admit on some cars they look awesome, but maybe they could make them look that way without being so bright? less lumens maybe?

the same thing happened when halogens started to get popular. Once halogens were in every car, eyes didn't have to adjust so much. Only when you had it at the right angle.
It's not HID's. It's the fact that there is a mix of halogens and HID's.

When people have a discussion, why get hung up on something like a poll? The discussion is what matters, right?

I know on my Envoy when I hit the HID's, it lights up the whole freaking 180 degree area for what seems like a mile around. It's AMAZING how bright those things are. You could probably see my car from space :)

The poll is not an actual poll, it is to prove a point in a creative way. I was implying that the only people that would be against banning them would be people who own HIDs ;)
