HIDs

[tjkj2002]

Cops in NJ are the same way as long as it ain't any crazy color the cops won't bother you

Same way where I'm from and have 3 good friends that are city cops.If they suspect something they always have those HID's as a excuss to pull you over and search your vehicle.

Heck even offroad lights it's a law in my state that they must be covered at all times on a public roads.The cops will not do anything if you leave them uncovered as it's a $20 ticket.They wait to catch you with them on then it's a $600 fine per light turned on after the 4 your allowed(2 low beams,2 high beams,or low beams with fogs on).

Hmmm this is all really interesting. I never realized how much of a fight HIDs were. I've never really been badly blinded by any of them either.

Cheap import HID bulb kits are becoming more common here in South Africa too. I often get blinded by some **** who thinks his bluish super-bright headlights are the coolest thing ever. I can't wait til my LED spots are built, so I can in them back.
I found a site recently dedicated to proper HID retrofitting (with projectors) . I think it was something like www.hiduniverse.com

oh wait - it was http://www.hidplanet.com/forums

in particular their HOW-TO section.

Here's a Jeep GC with an HID retrofit. Granted, it looks *****, but it's the right way to do it
