I used to be in the same camp...HIDs are bad, they're chavvy, it's selfish, you are basically Hitler...
However, modern cars dazzle the shit out of you. A brand new BMW, Merc, Vauxhall, Ford - pretty much anything - even a bottom-rung company car like a poverty silver Kia. The provision of an 'automatic self levelling system' is so f*cking stupid I can't convey it enough. Even the fastest sensors/motors could not counter the elevation of the car to adjust the light beam fast enough - it's pointless. And washers? Just keep your headlight lenses clean, dick, it's not hard.
HIDs are fine when installed correctly. I've got the H7r bulbs and they are spot on, but considerably brighter than a conventional bulb.
Now everybody just play nice. Fitting aftermarket HIDs is not tantamount to raping the baby Jesus, so please calm down.
