HID and the law?
So Im looking into getting new bulbs..... maybe the 6000k or the 8000k hids. I was wondering is it illegal to have certain hids on your car as low or high beam?

On a side note, I can't stand people who install HID lights on cars that came with halogen lights. Do they not understand that HIDs are focused differently than halogen? When they drive past you, it's blinding........spare the extra money and get projector housings! Oh and for some reason, people who do add HIDs to a car that never had them tend to drive around with them on during the day.....as if they are showing them off. Not impressed.

All that said HID is about putting the most light on the road and like I said, 6000K or 8000K capsules have dramtically less light output than the 4300K offerings. If you want color, get your cut-off's modified

I saw some cops running aftermarket lights here in Hilo Not setting the greatest example there. I do think adjusting lights and installing the right housing is important though. Makes me think that if their lights are shining that high, their highlights would be useless.

doesnt matter you will just get a repair order. You swap lightbulbs for inspection then swap them again.Its not that hard to swap them. i gor from 10k to 12k violet.

Not really, see, I do functional things to my car like, turbos, suspension and if I want better lighting, I actually do things that will improve the amount of light on the road.... I recently upgraded my assemblies to the 2006+ bi-xenon projectors. I don't slap in ricer bulbs and hope the homeys give me street cred
