You have the RS HID lights. A lot of people have been flashed because of those lights. Annoying, but perfectly normal.

you didn't lower the back end of your car did you? ...or have anything really heavy in the trunk? the projector headlights have cutoff shields to keep the bright part of the light out of drivers' eyes, so unless the cutoff is really high (from either improper aiming or the back end being much lower - causing the front angle to be higher & rising the cutoff line), there's nothing to be flashing you about. i highly doubt you're the first set of HIDs anybody there's seen

When they flash you, flash your high beams back at them, then they'll realize what high beams are.

Those don't look like Rs headlights.

Are they? Or did you put HID's on the regular housing?

Completely stock... And yes it is the Halos... And where I am Camaros are a common sight so that's why I thought it was me... And I stared at my lights a couple times and it didn't blind me and I parked my car with lights on drove by with another car and didn't have a problem... Who knows
