Goliath Member 383 Member For: 14y 4m 13d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 20/05/12 01:48 PM Share Posted 20/05/12 01:48 PM Yes I know they are reflective. I'm more so referring to like the highway signs which are mounted significantly higher. Even when driving with my mates who also have HID's mine clearly lighten them up almost as they are directly pointed at them due to the refraction. Tempted to go back to globes simply so the light is dispersed more evenly/smoothly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dre Resident idiot. Donating Members 2,068 Member For: 14y 2m 8d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 21/05/12 12:17 AM Share Posted 21/05/12 12:17 AM I remember driving on the freeway in my Mazda 3, ( factory HID) and it would light up all of the freeway signs more than any other car. I wouldn't worry about it. My FG did it too but no where near as much as the dispersed light is so weak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as mine have not been angled down they light up the signs a fair way away lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would still prefer something with a smoother light dispersion, don't want to resort to eyelids! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
