As it happens yes but not for that reason!
I was just talking with a buddy of mine yesterday , and he had a lot to say about the blue lights coming at him .
He owns a cab company , and all his drivers have the same opinion .
They all hate those blue lights .
He runs halogens in all his cars .
Since I explained the physics of it , he now knows why he hates them .
Earlier in the day , he said he got out of his car at a stop light to tell the guy behind in the SUV , that he was being completely blinded by his headlights .
I just thought I'd throw this in , as Starter hadn't heard of anyone else hating them .
These particular professional drivers all say they hurt thier eyes .
Why HID headlights bother older drivers
It's an old person problem :p
Good article , Dave .Quote:

It's worse for old folk , so it's really bad for those driving towards old folk , as they are the one's more likely to be less capable drivers to begin with .
Since there are usually more of them than deer on the road , I think it's maybe a little smarter , unless you live in the bush , to go halogen .
