The only problem I have is cops are pretty rude around here. HID's in any car that either didn't come with them factory, or doesn't have projectors or retofitted lights, is illegal. The whiter, 4300-5000k lights won't draw as much attention. Cops won't think much of it. If you're running around with 6000-12,000k's, they know the lights shouldn't be that blue/purple, and will likely take notice. Cops in bigger cities know that street racers use HID's to attract racing attention at night. I've been pulled over twice now for my projectors, and I'd rather not get a ticket with HID's. The higher temp HID's put strain on your eyes, and if you don't have a cutoff, they'll blind others meeting you.

This is true.
Note my comparison pics on the previous page. Factory HID's versus the cutoff for the stock GP headlights. Not terribly different.
Besides, our cars ride so low compared to SUV's that even with a proper cutoff, the damn HID's still blind me.

Yeah, for sure. Those pictures are actually pretty promising for anyone wanting HID's.
