I for one would never want to go back to halogen after driving with HID.
I've never flashed anyone with Xenon's, but it doesn't mean they don't irritate me.
How many times have I spent more time looking in my rear view mirror to see if those blue flashing lights in the distance are a police car than looking at the road in front? And how many times have I been going round a roundabout and caught the blue flashing lights in my rear view mirror and had my heart miss a beat because I thought I was about to be pulled over? Lots.
