I also forgot to mention (didn't think it was too important) everyone I know (people ranging from friends to co-workers etc) that have the improper HID setup and have gotten pulled over by any cop, although not many, they've also only ever received warnings never tickets.

Up here, they use HID's as an excuse to make a traffic stop. I had it happen twice with my GP, both times my car was searched and I was let go without even a written warning.

Well sticking HID's into the stock housings isn't illegal in Texas (at least the DMV couldn't find any law on it when I called) but it is annoying as f*** for the oncoming traffic I'm just gonna aim them down a bit. As much as it may piss peeps here off at least most of you live else where so you don't have to worry about crossing my obnoxiously bright lights

you need to search on the internet yourself. when i was pulled over for having yellow foglights on my maxima, i looked online and found out that it wasnt specified that yellow lights were illegal, so i printed out two copies and put it in my glove box, but i demodded the car and sold it

i have stock bulbs in my ebay crystal 1 pc headlights and there not brite at all if i put HIDs in will they be brighter or will they still be the same cuz of the reflectors it the headlights them selfs?

they will be brighter but they will be like driving around with high beams on in peoples faces. Hid's should not be used in cars with reflector housing alone. Though some cars come factory with this type of set up, the reflector is specially designed to control output and keep has less light emitted upward and the bulbs themselves have shields. Aftermarket pnp hid's do not have this shield nor are your stock housings designed properly.Retrofit a projector if you want hid.

If your headlight lenses are dirty start with a clean up. I see tons of people driving around with dirty or yellowed lenses and a simple clean up would help visibility. If youre sure theyre pretty clean id try new bulbs.

Your night vision won't improve much... They will scatter everywhere.

I put 4300K HID's in those crappy lights and couldn't stand the light out put and the fact I was blinding everyone in front of me.

Then I got another set of JDM 1 pieces (I went from USDM to JDM, to EbayDM then back to JDM) with Piaa halogen bulbs and was happy with the output.
