    Well I remember a story of a driver who gets pulled over and has dark tinted windows and doesn't notice the guy laying down in the back seat with a shotgun then he gets blown away ... That being said, I think if you bad tinted windows and just rolled them all down so he could see you are legit then it shouldn't be a big deal.

    Horseshoe, is that your truck in your picture?

    Blue headlamps are harder to see with.

    In SC unless factory install like the blue color ones. They have to be clear of amber in color on all vehicles

    Is there a chance they aren't properly aligned? Headlight alignment and suspension alignment usually falls on the dealers not the manufacturers and is often not perform correctly or at all.

    The KW's have Xenon's now. If people are constantly flipping out on you then their out of alignment. Their pretty bright either way and would blind a 4 wheeler first if out of whack but if your blinding other trucks then your beam spread is just too high. Which sucks on your end because taking that light from your viewing path.

    Since you have not seen the bulbs,i would first check if they aren't Xenon's.(thinking like snatale)
    I honestly don't like most Xenon's as i too feel they disturb me,like they are not alinged properly.
