| 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. | |

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 | |
