Odd question on Hids

I installed Hids on my car about a month ago. Their 10k ive realized many young teenagers have been trying to "race" me on the freeways. It has gotten to a point were I am sick of it and was wonder if I changed the bulbs to the lowest degree( I believe 4300) would that be a good idea or will it still have the same affect. I heard 4300 is still bright but not as notice able as the 10ks I have now. And is it possible to swtich back to my stock bulbs after the dealer has reprogramed my computer to run the Hids. I really just wnt to drive in peace any thoughts?

I have 8k HIDs and they are almost 100% white, they do have a hint of blue in them, but they are very bright and do the job really well.

Im really deciding on the 4300k or going back to stock Holgen bulbs. I already wasted 120 to reprogram and would be a waste of money if I didnt stick with the Hid's. Do 4300k seem stock? I believe 4300k are stock for mercedes for the lighting package if I am correct?

Why would you want to 'reduce' your light output?
I don't understand the point of folks doing go-slow mods or anything that REDUCES the performance / ability of their vehicle.

10k lights are worse than OEM.

please post a night pic of your 10k's
i think 10k's look good.

if they try to race you, just tint your windows and ignore them.
