Default HID complaints

have you ever been pulled over for your aftermarket HIDs before? Or have you ever had people flash their highbeams at you? Just curious.

do you guys angle your headlights down a little bit after installation or do you just leave them at their regular angle?

Around here, if the bulb temp comes out to being too blue (applies to xenon-lookalike bulbs too), you can (and i know people who have) get pulled over for impersonation of an emergency vehicle
