I don't really know, but my field of vision hasn't decreased any since installing them.

He's not talking about your vision, he's talking about other motorist

Headlights that are made for HIDs have reflectors in them to focus the light so it doesn't blind other drivers and so it improves your vision

no matter what if you have HID's you are going to blind people, 3 of my buds had the hid projectors and they still blind me comin down the road. but I guess the circles kind of focus it so it's not so bright.

Yes they do beam multiple colours, Ive got many complements pulling into parking lots and stuff due to it. Also yes they do blind other people if you dont play around with angles up and down and in and out. I spend a good chunk of time playing with them and driving down the road past my dad driving in the opposite direction to get them right. I have never got flashed since. I only get flashed with my fog lights on which are also 6000k HIDs, but still even at that i rarely get flashed.
