after getting hit by a ton of ppl that just leave there high beams on while driving i want to at least flash something
so i decided to throw hid's in the corners where the turn signals were

thoughts?

Not sure hid in the corners would.have the effect your going for anyway. They wouldn't be on long enough to "flash" and be bright. Adding a 9005 or 9006 as a "flash" bulb in the corners would be more effective I think. Some sick bright fogs could do the trick too. Or just put those damn kc's on there and show'm who's boss.

So wait, are you wiring them to the signal/flasher wires or just putting them in that part of the headlight but wired separately? Because having them run off the signal/flasher power would fry ballasts and bulbs like no other with the constant on/off cycles. Even having them wired separately wouldn't really be effective though since the turn signal housing will only be worse at creating a higher "brightness" than the hi/lo reflector housing so you could turn those lights on to flash someone but the chances of them even noticing that you turned on more lights is pretty slim.

x2 on going retro route. They may have their brights on, but I know you have HID's in your headlights and are probably blinding them as well

or just retrofit projectors into your headlight housings and avoid being flashed by having properly aimed headlights?

^^See that's what I thought he meant too, but upon reading the post again, it's others have their high beams on and Alex, being the upstanding citizen he his, wants to alert them of their obliviousness by flashing them, not them flashing him for blinding the crap out of them with HID's in crappy reflector housings

If all else fails, flash them a full moon.

Kyle, how much and where to get. I mean morimoto fogs would be killer, but would kill the pocket at the same time.

I think I paid like $50 on amazon a few years back. Hella optilux 2500 is what they were called. They go nicely with projectors if you have them because of the led rings.

the hella's won't fit my bumper

Why not? They are just 4" round lights. They fit in the GP fog light recesses with room to spare.

Not so. Email The Retrofit source, they have "value" Morimoto's for $75, then you just need an H1 HID kit.

I have no tolerance for people who don't turn off highs when getting even remotely close enough , I wouldn't piss around and they be getting a full high flashback for being inconsiderate. Way too many people on the road today drive with themselves in mind only and have no consideration for others on the road!

And I have zero tolerance for people that put HID's in reflector housings

Green pointing down is usually foglight indicator unless it doesn't have the vertical squiggly line A lot of cars do have a low beam or "lights on" indicator in the dash though. If I remember correctly, the 04+'s had a cluster colored (so orangish/redish) light and a seperate green fog indicator.
Oh, and Kyle and I were talking at work today and decided that you need a Marauder, right now!

PhotoWhoring time.

I forgot that you acquired that bumper from Flip, why not try the blazertechs? Might have to do some custom fabbing but it would work.
