are they street legal

[Hagb]

No aftermarket HID kit is street legal. Regardless of whether it's a drop in kit or a retrofit.

hey i want hids but do they only come with 2 bulbs if your car has 4? i dont want my stock hibeams

[Hagb]

The ones that are in the Lincoln Mark LT were direct replacement dual HID bulbs. If you looked at the bulbs, there are 2 HID bulbs on each bulb. Problem was when you hit the high beams, it was like turning them on from start all over again. So they were dim then warmed up. Only way to avoid this was to let the high beams warm up.

Out of reference, I've done both the retrofit and the PnP HID. It's largely a matter of preference and resources. If you can retrofit, great. If not, PnP works fine.

I had no idea HID's had been since 1989. Cool. If I ever get pulled over for my aftermarket HID's, I'm gonna show them my DOT stamp on my headlights and say that this is the way they came.

this idiot is going to fry his ballasts. i bet they are fried by now. there is a reason cars use halogens for highs(for those with seperate low and high bulbs, because cars like the maxima use the same bulb for low and high)

You know all you guys who complain about these lights are babies. There a huge safety upgrade. You can see much clearer and farther. For city driving, yes there impractical, but out in the country where I live there awesome. Much easier to see wildlife. You know of you go way back to drivers Ed, they teach you to NOT look into the oncoming cars headlights. You're supposed to look off towards the right, away from the headlights. DDDDUUUUHHH

All Xenon needs to be made illegal in ALL states. Crap heading toward you from the opposing lane causing that damn kaliedescope effect in your windshield damned near blinding you ... It's just as bad or worse than a driver headed towards you with normal bright lights on. Ooo look at me. Aren't I cool with my bright assed blue headlights blinding other drivers ?

Pimpninja1984@. Actually they are legal if done right. Most of the time their not. But can be legal.

The reason these conversion kits sometimes are illegal is because they don't make the light go where it's suppose to go. Most of the time it's just lighting up everything everywhere. Which can cause danger to other drivers. In some cases it actually produces less light then halogen. But if done right it can be a huge upgrade legally.

[pimpninja1985]

Don't be fooled by these people. They are not street legal and are dangerous to you and other drivers.
