I want to get some put into my car soon, but I need to know first if they are illegal or not because if they are then obviously I wont be putting them in.

Anyways, Holla at me, Thankz.

Regards,
Tyler.

Not so much...

IF you do decide to go against the grain and do them, make sure they aren't in a reflective housing and make sure they aren't aimed to blind, I guess they will blind regardless though.

If aimed properly, you should be fine.

PM Playboyz28 he not only sells kits, but installs them and is rather good at it. I'm sure a few others around here could vouch for him. He installed a kit in Supra's car.

All headlamps must be WHITE in colour
as defined by Society of Automotive
Engineers. White lamps have been tested
to meet all headlamp requirements.
• Maximum wattage allowed in a headlamp
is 70 watts.
Blue and green lamps are designated for use on
emergency vehicles only.
• Red lamps to front are reserved for emergency
vehicles and school bus warning lamps.
• High intensity bulbs may assist the driver of the
vehicle but are blinding to oncoming traffic.
• Colored bulbs give a distorted headlamp pattern,
which may prevent the driver from seeing a
person or object at the road edge or starting to
cross the road

From what I can tell, you're good to go with HIDs, just please putthem in a projector housing, I'm sure no one like being blinded by peopel who stick them in regular housings

I have 4300k hid's in my saturn but if i was to get them again on a new vehicle I would definetly retrofit with some TSX hid projectors, not halogen projectors. Atleast this way you get the most out of them and dont blind everyone. With halogens the light is just scattered everywhere

its hard to match some prices on usedregina. I charge a little more but I gaurantee my work. I've seen some shody hid installs and had to fix a few of them.

But if you're interested, pm me and I can give you a good price Smile

I can vouch for Jason, he does great work, they looked great when he put them on my old Civic, and I'm sure they'll look great when they're in my Supra Very Happy
