yes... i have been aware for a long time that any HID retrofit into a car that did not come from the factory with HIDs in an illegal modification. So please, do not try to get smart with me. Im trying to assist you and i even found that link about ballasts for you. Now you try to imply i don't know what im talking about. Your last comment came across as if you think you know it all better than anyone else, everyone notices these things, hence why you get the responses that you do.

anyways.. illegal or not... people do it all the time.

but heres the thing, some do it right, most do it wrong.
when done wrong, even if you dont get "flashed" by oncoming drivers, and cop can always spot you and if he's aware of HIDs being an illegal mod, he'll get you for "unapproved equipment" regardless if you think the light output is focused.

Now, with proper projectors(not just round "projector-type" looking lenses), the light is cut and spread in such a way that it does appear stock. And to this day I have yet to meet a law enforcement officer that will write a ticket for improved nighttime lighting on a vehicle that does not cause a distraction or discomfort to other drivers (exceptions would be if you did something to warrant his attention in the first place or other items on the vehicle are blatantly obvious).


if you want HIDs, talk to blackbirdws6, or searching for his thread on how he first developed his. You seem to like doing your own fabrication on stuff so this is a perfect task. with the proper components, you'll end up with a better operating light setup and you will be likely to avoid the long arm of the law.
