Most retrofitted HID lights are not legal, because the optics of the assembly/housing is designed for a halogen bulb, not HID. I really wish people would stop buying those ebay setups. They are annoying when you have to drive toward them.

Only a few aftermarket projector style HID kits are legal.

the HID's are supposed to be adjusted down to avoid bliding other drivers.Everybody knows they are illegal, as well as modified exhaust,tinted windows, even changing the color of your is illegal.But with everything, as long as you dont get caught, it doesnt matter.I even sold a couple of sets to my sheriif buddy

Modified exhaust, tinted windows, and car color don't blind oncoming traffic. I'd say that matters. Too many times coming home from work I get blinded by idiots with poorly-adjusted HID's. About the only thing left of the road I can see is the white line.

People die from accidents because windows are too dark; it's a fact. Safety requirements on a car are there because while driving any car at any speed is dangerous, the illegal items mentioned in this thread make it really, really dangerous. I don't know about the particular lights discussed above, but using any lights that blind drivers is way beyond being inconsiderate when there's a collision.

Getting ready to swap out the headlights & taillights on my car.
Anybody got a link to show how to aim & adjust your headlights.
