thanks for the copy/paste job justin but it doesn't really bother me to read it. I've seen that before and in most cases, HID kits shouldnt find their way into halogen housings. The kits sold on LS1tech come to mind. Retrofitting the stock fbody housing with their kits put out ridiculous glare. However, there are occasions where I find it permissible....regardless of what the law has to say. No one is going to spend the time to say this kit and this housing are legal for HIDs where another isn't. It's simply easier to say its all illegal.

Have you seen the stock light output of a 4th gen firebird housing? It's horrendous and barely lights the road. I first went to these Hella housings with higher wattage lamps which produced much better results. Then I switched to a "quality" (as far as HID kits go) kit and I have nearly identical output pattern with greater color rendition and greater light output.

I will be working on a bixenon projector retrofit this winter if time and $ allow but until then...I'm happy with my output and no one ever flashes me on the road from glare.
