Pretty sure H4 HID's use a slider set-up to alter from low to hi-beam,so only one power feed  If the high beam was separate you would get a short delay in the high beam working,as HID's don't give full instant light.  My mates who fitted them to his fiesta st had one more power source than mine. But yes it was some form of slider set up. ________________________________________ Phase 2 Blaze GTi 6 (Standard) SoldPhase 3 Supercharged China GTi 6 (249.8 BHP) Sold Phase 3 Supercharged Diablo GTi 6 (443 BHP)Sold Nissan 350Z (300 BHP) |

I've nearly been knocked off my motorbike by some c*nt using their phone whilst driving - that's what it has to do with me. The fact that they are a danger is enough reason not to "Let them get on with it". HIDs might be less of a safety issue than phones but they're still annoying when pikeys retrofit them to old hatchbacks. ________________________________________  You feed beefburgers to swans.

I agree with everyone else. It's not your problem until somebody you know/you die because of someone driving a car that isn't road worthy or because they're not paying attention, driving whilst on a phone, etc. It's all the same. You say to just get on with it, I'd like to see you get on with it if you lost a relative because of something like this. Laws are made for a reason but your clearly too stupid to see this. |

Regardless can you do anything about it on an individual level? No.A very good friend of mine died from a motor bike accident due to a drunk driver nothing i can do about it is there? Let's look at it like this I saw somebody on their mobile whilst driving and the guy in front of me decided to over take so he was level with the mobile phone user, At this point he was waving his arms about etc. I'm assuming he was telling the person to get off the phone. Now in my eyes thats f*cking out of orderly dangerous and what has it got to do with him! f*ck all! ________________________________________ Team Nile 6Team: 40.2 MPG 5 x a 306 owner! currently abusing type r's in a town near you ™ I truely live for the 306 ® Build date: 29th October 1997 Wednesday's car midweek madness |

I'm not saying you should be out and about hunting down phone users. I'm just saying that If everyone had the attitude you have and just said well what can I, a single person do. then we'd get nowhere. I'm sorry to hear you lost a friend due to a drink driver, but surely due to this you must care and not just tink if they drink drive it's their problem, not mine. It's the same principle surely? |

Tbh I respect the way you conduct yourself unlike others. The fact remains though that we are not here to enforce the law that's what the plod are for. I don't have a bad attitude I'm just a realist. These motorists that go out of there way to have a go at people are dangerous. I have overtaken on a clear road before with a national speed limit in force, the guy in front was doing 35ish i indicated out and as i was coming past he swerved towards me. What business is that of his to do something like that? ________________________________________ Team Nile 6Team: 40.2 MPG 5 x a 306 owner! currently abusing type r's in a town near you ™ I truely live for the 306 ® Build date: 29th October 1997 Wednesday's car midweek madness |

I agree we are not here to enforce it and also it could be more dangerous to try to, I'm not denying that at all. I think you just hit a nerve when saying it's not your problem, let them get on with it. It most certainly is a problem and it affects everyone. I agree with you that said person shouldn't have swerved towards you however he was probably on the phone and trying to change gear at the same time! Anyway, I think this has run it's course. |
