ok, I'll let you know that your headlights are illegal as you are spewing light all over the place. Now you know, anyway, yes, you need to lower them.

"Brightest" depends on what you are looking for. for truest white light, you want 4300K. I also have 6000K in my car and it has a slight blue-hue to them.

 

If it is that much of a problem look into legal driving lights, such that are mounted at bumper level to give you additional light on the road without blinding other drivers.

Or else use your 'brights' when you need the additional illumination and dim them when on coming traffic heads your way, like most of us do.

If you must have HIDs, 4300K are available, have the brightest light but don't look as 'cool'. But like all aftermarket HIDs they don't belong in housings not designed for HID bulbs.

 

You need to drop your headlights, I have HID in mine and never been flashed,
When I installed mine, I had to drop the headlights at least two inches to keep the cutoff the same as the stock lights...

 

As k757 said, 6000k isn't the "brightest" light there is. 4300k is considered to be pure white and therefore has the greatest factor of luminoscity. Without getting into the details of Kelvin ratings (which I'm no expert, but do have some experience with), the most light output will come from pure white. Most of the more expensive vehicles you see with HID or bi-xenon headlights are rated somewhere around 6000k and have that slight tint of blue. These vehicles are able to reach the higher amount of light output because the vehicle's electrical system was designed for and strengthened to handle such lighting. Simply putting 6000k halogen bulbs from Ebay in your vehicle won't give you more light output, but rather just the color of a 6000k bulb. The light output will actually be considerably less. Even putting an HID kit in a vehicle not meant to handle it won't give you great output. I love seeing the high school kids in Cobalts with their ridiculously blue Ebay HID kits.

until they blind you with the scattered light, then it just sucks




(saying that with my scattered HID conversion kit fogs, which I have aimed really low) :act024:

 

FYI - You can get kits on ebay for like $30 bucks now. If you want Bi-Xenon (high and low beam) they are only like $60. I've been running them since I got my truck.

 

I am waiting on Xenith Xenons to introduce 9003 LUX bulbs. The LUX bulb is unique in the sense that the angle of the light can be adjusted via a remote control that comes with the kit. This will be critical in not blinding on coming traffic.
