hid question
^Thats fucked up dude. To say something like that is wrong and for you to give a **** so much is just plain gay. I think you need to relax and pull ur wedgie out and go look at an adjusted set of HID's on a cobalt b4 you run ur mouth and say stupid ****. Its ******* headlights. If he said "im gonna drive around with my highbeams on everysingle day" then he would be an ******* and I still wouldnt say "i hope you get pulled every day" because im not a ******. You on the other hand take a little refracted light completely out of context. Hes gonna do it right, and you shouldnt care.

i wish that was my case.... i got a ticket for 15 over didnt notice i was doing that fast but hey i was flowing with traffic and my spedo is off by 5 mph (found this out when i got my gps), once agian im sure the high rise caught his eye (i know i was speeding and deserved the ticket so before any one comments i know i was in the wrong so shut it). the day after i took it to the lawers office i got a ticket for rolling a stop sign.. apperently at 23mph he searched my car (im not a drugie) didnt find nothing, checked my windows 32% legal is 35 but he let me off with a warning because the windows have factory tint. when all else failed i apperently rolled a stop sing at 23mph awsome huh

well arent you awesome child.
so i bought my hid kit and i went with the 8k bulbs and WOW do i love them and just so everybody knows i went pass a cop the first night i had them in and he was comming around the corner and my headlights hit his car directly.... and he kept going! so i dont think they much care about the lights
These are, IMO, the reasons you should use projectors with HID instead of using the stock housing:
1) Appearance. HID in a reflector housing does not look all that great. I've seen Cobalts with 8000K hid in the stock housing and it just looks awful.
2) Safety. The cutoff prevents you from blinding other drivers. When you blind another driver with scattered light from a stock housing, you're essentially making them unable to see the road markings and signs. So it could cause an accident. This also includes lane violations which can lead to them hitting YOU and your Cobalt head on.
3) 5-0/Cops/Krispy Creme Bandits/Bears...etc. Projector housings makes it harder for an officer to determine if your lights are OEM or a Plug and Play kit. Although there are OEM HID reflectors in some cars... they're not very common. So usually officers will look for HID color and output from a reflector type housing to determine who is highly suspect for having an illegal HID kit (HID Plug and Play kits are not approved for road use. Legal OEM HID setups are only D2S/D2R size and their optics are specifically designed. Although the eBay projectors are not considered legal housings with HID in them, you're at least fooling most cops into thinking your lights are OEM. The rule of thumb is: "Don't blind the cops." If you blind the cops, they WILL light you up. City cops are not nearly as likely to enforce lighting, but rural cops that have nothing to do or state police who are needing fill that thing that isn't a "Quota" are more likely to do so.

........ how can you guys say hids in stock housings arnt blinding I HAD THEM, I KNOW THEY ARE, you guys are crazy and in denial..... you all need to stop being so damn cheap and buy projectors..... so many kids around here are going around with them in stock housings, they look like ****, and blind everyone..... you do know that if someone runs into you head on, all they have to say is "your illegal headlights bind me, i couldnt see....." and your 100% in fault.......... get some projectors.....
stock lowbeams suck ass. and projectors on a yellow car look ugly as ****. I had a set of projectos and sold them cause when i put them in they looked like ass. unfortunately for oncoming traffic, im gonna be blinding the **** out of you. Hopefully not, ill adjust them the best I can and lower my car so hopefully my headlights will be as high as most cars foglights, but if you look at a 47 degree angle and happen to get a strand of light in your eye, sucks for you.
god all you guys crack me up.. i got them on tuesday night installed them on wednesday morning and honestly the only shine about a car length infront of my own car so i really dont care what everyone else thinks it my style and my car if no one else likes it then just be glad you have your own car and your own money..l again not trying to be a dick but i hate people that cant just be happy for others and have to knock my or anyones ideas if you dont like what you read hit the button that looks like this <- and exit out
why do ppl put down ebay hids? there the exact same as the hids that 3bspecs and ddmtuning sell. just with a diff label. and i do not recomend 55W kits. there have a shorter life span. and the 35W are just as bright. and i think hids look alot better in stock housings.
Yo OP, post up some pics of those HID's i wanna check these beasts out.
Pickups and SUVs already blind oncoming traffic with their higher mounted headlights.
Also for some unknown reason, I will get flashed repeatedly when I drive my 07 Mustang GT with the factory stock foglights and headlights. A fully marked patrol car even flashed his spotlight at me for having the foglights on. This isn't just an isolated incident either - a large portion of Mustang owners reported the same problem. Once they switched to HID retrofits, the flashes stopped.
