Default Acura TL lights

I'm about to get this car- hopefully with the Navigation system and I'm trying to cover all my bases and questions about the car before getting it.. I see a lot of people driving with their high beams.. Not just recently either since it's been snowing like a mofo up here in jersery.. I thought the HIDs on this car were bright enough to begin with.. Any problems/ dislike with these lights or car I should know about??

All comments are welcome...

Well the HIDS brighten up the road say from the ground up to say 5 feet.
Now with the highbeams they shine say from 5 feet up to 8 feet.

I hope this explains it cause im drux0r's right now. To much partyin last night.

Once you go with HID's you will never revert back to stock halogens.
I frequently drive to the poconos and i barely use my high beams since the light output is sufficient.

If the lights are aimed correctly, you will be able to see a helluva lot better than with halogens.

I'm not sure what that 5 and 8 foot stuff is about lol...but don't worry, the HID output should be good.

1) Wrong forum
2) They're not high beams, they're fog lights. 3rd gen TLs have bi-xenon headlights, meaning the single xenon bulb has two brightness settings. The lights you see on the interior of the headlights next to the grille are the fog lights
