HID legality?
Has anyone running an HID conversion ever had a legal problem with them. Like being pulled over or inspection denial?
I have a set installed in my 04 housing and man are these bright! I lined it up with my GF's 2000 Impreza L wagon and the differece was astounding! It looked like she was running candles compared to the HID's. Interestingly, there seems to be a lot of concern about the headlight becoming ill-aimed with this, so I was prepared to do a little adjusting down, but with the new setup, the aim was similar to hers, maybe even a tad lower with a sharp upper cutoff. Funny, though the high beams seem wimpy in intensity comparison but are definatley needed to see any thing more than like 50 feet down the road. So I dont think I am likely to be blinding anyone that is not coming straight at me at less than 50 feet . I am just worried about what local law might think of this... I guess I was just going to tell them it was part of the premium package (sunroof, warm seats etc) that i have. Thoughts?

I've had my HID's in my Prodrive lights (which have projectors) since Feb and I've had no problems. I think your locale has some to do with how often people are bing pulled over for these kind of incidents. We're prety slack here in Tallahassee, FL so I don't have any worries - or at least not yet.
I've aimed mine where it lights up the road really well, but does not blind anyone - so I don't know if that in turn means that it's aimed lower than usual or not. |
