I know the Wanderlost Overland guys like them and have a great install video. Anyone else have experience with this kit?

I installed this HID Kit Pros low-beam kit in my 5th gen last week. Installation is easy, they work well, and are extremely bright. So bright that any reflective traffic sign I approach with these lights on glows white even during the day. However, I regularly get flashed by oncoming traffic on dark roads. These headlights are so annoyingly bright that they piss off oncoming traffic, despite being properly adjusted. I hate to be that obnoxious driver with headlights like two supernova suns aimed at everyone else on the road.
I will aim them a bit lower to see if it makes a difference. If I still get flashed a bunch, I'll get rid of them, and instead get dedicated HID off-road lights that I can flick on and off as needed. Oh, and they are illegal as well, btw. That's a non-issue where I live in Tucson AZ, where traffic and auto laws go pretty much unenforced, but this might be a problem in other more civilized areas of the country.
Funny thing is, I never had an issue with the factory low beams. They gave me enough illumination when overlanding in the dark. Hope this helps.
