Description of the problem | I drive 3,000 miles per month and i'm tired of being blinded by bmw's hid lights. No matter if they are coming towards me or behind they are too bright! Other manufacturers do not seem to have this problem. I have noticed that the x5 suv is the absolute worst vehicle made to drive in front of at night. I have had to pull over to avoid being blinded. This problem has occured in the three different vehciles that i drive, so height of my vehicle is not a contributing facor. I feel that these lights are dangerous and should be redesigned |
