Yea they are illegal if in a reflective housing...

No it is illegal when it is put into a car that was not equipped with it from the factory.

Which is... OMG... a reflective housing... lol[/quote:3d7shv2h]
Actually, there are projectors that use halogen bulbs. Chrysler Crossfire comes to mind. Good try tho.

You can upgrade those to HID and have no problem. As long as the housing is sealed beam you will be fine...

Of course, if you live in California, everything is back-asswards from anywhere else... but that's how it's stated here...

You are mistaken. It is illegal to install HID lights into a car that did not come equipped with it from the factory. Period. Just because most cops wont hassle you, does not mean it isnt illegal.

I saw a CRX with projector headlights and a HID kit, and it BLINDED the **** out of me this morning.

No he didnt. HIDs are perfectly safe and give you way better vision. That is why its illegal to put them into a halogen housing. They are TOO good.

No he didnt.

so wait, u were with u steve? that means u know whether or not he got blinded or not? c'mon dude, u may or may not know somethings about hids but i dont think that you would know whether or not someone else got bright lights shown into their eyes unless you were there.


hids are great and safe, but if not aimed properly, they will blind people.

It was a joke man.
Hids are great and safe, when they are installed that way from the factory or retrofitted. Dropping HIDs in a halogen housing is so safe that the US made it illegal. Aimed properly or not, there is too much damn glare.

[mikedudley17]

sorry dude, i missed the joke....

[xstevex]

I senced the sarcasm aveodude


but there is always special cases. Like the acura MDX halogen projectors take hids pretty well. but almost always hid projectors and reflectors are the only way hids work well.
