Hid headlamps impose a serious problem for oncoming drivers. Recently, i was driving home and encountered an oncoming vehicle with hid headlamps coming up a hill and around a curve. As it reached the i was momentarily blinded by the brilliant blue/purple light which seemed to peak in intensity for just a couple of seconds. However, following this incident, i found myself seeing flashbulb like spots in my field of vision for several minutes after. Since it was dark and the road way is rural, there was no way to identify the make of vehicle. I do suspect that it was a higher end car. I have seen these headlights on lexus and other makes and while the light has been exceptionally bright in the past, this is the first time that i have really been seriously bothered by them to where i was concerned about my safety and being able to continue to drive into darkness after the encounter. I can see where these headlamp systems would be an issue on two lane rural roads for drivers of oncoming vehicles. *ak
