Since everyone around rochester has blue hid's I decided to try something a little different and got some purple 12k's that are pretty neat at night since I have a dark colored car.

Im MEL.
I thought it was too, well basically every aftermarket HID is illegal.
But i dont know what the laws are there where you live.
And i dont think purple HIDs would really help your visibility on the road.

Visibility sucks if you dont have anything on the road that reflects back at you:???:... street signs and anything reflective shines bright... but as for driving and on the black pavment they suck... my boy has them in his Rangerover and they look cool but not worth your $80+... maybe for fog lamps

Yes. In cali anything over 8k and colors other than blue, white or yellow are illegal
Any temperature (color) is all illegal when installed in Integra headlights. It is illegal to install an HID system into any halogen housing anywhere in the U.S., regardless of where you live. The NHTSA is a federal agency, there laws are not written state by state.

Then could you show me a link to housing that would make it LEGAL?
They would need to be put in a housing designed for a HID bulb. That is why people do retrofits to install S2000, TL, etc. projectors. They are designed for HID bulbs so they are not illegal, they do have a cut off to keep from blinding people and the refelctor is designed to make the most out of the light pattern.

Not a fan of purple/green/pink HIDs either blue or white and of course yellow for the hi beams or fogs... but to each their own
