No kidding. With my HID cars don't pull out in front of me anymore because they can't tell that I'm a bicycle. With my old headlight drivers could tell I was on a bike and would think I was going too slow and just pull out, causing me to have to hit the brakes.
Plus, I never got any compliments until I put the HID on. I was riding home one night after the bars closed and some cyclists were sitting outside of an apartment building and one of the girls yelled "I like your light!" as I rode by.
