Ah, one thing with HIDs to warn for is that they take time to go to full strength.

They start with a flash, then go dim, then slowly build up to about halogen level in about 10 seconds, to full brightness in half a minute.
The flashing at start can be handy to warn the deer, but it is not a controllable feature. Can't do it twice in succession.

For confirmation go to people just like you.
For education go to people unlike yourself.
