I got hids in my car and i love them. Im installing a set in my fogs also Hids had to be my first mod. when i first put them on people would flash their lights at me because they were aimed too high. But then I adjusted them with the little screw on the headlight and now i can almost see as much as if i had my high beams on along with my low beams and People have not flahsed their brights at me for like 2 motnhs now. So im good.

They are Illigal to have installed and use on cars in the united state that did not have them installed at the factory by the OEM.

Please be nice and not blind people.

That is all.

People don't flash their lights at you because, in a well-known gang initiation ceremony, wannabe bangers drive around with either highbeams on or headlights off and kill anyone who flashes them.

Bright lights are distracting and annoying.

well, people who live in some small suburban town like most of the members here wont have to worry about bloods or crips killing them for flashing their lights. now what we do have to worry about is that grandma that flashes her lights at us because she thinks that those damn kids are up to no good

That's classic: guy from Ohio telling guy from Los Angeles about gangs!

Seriously, though, LA drivers know not to do anything stupid like that on the road.

Unfortuantely, I don't see a need to pay 630 Euro's for headlights. I know HID's look nice, but are too expensive for what they are, headlight bulbs w/ diff gas and fancy wiring added.

well those HIDs are extremely overpriced...they are usually around $300-$500

For the amount of lighting they provide, they are worth it all the way.

I know exactly what your saying, projectors will always look the best but until a headlight assembly comes out with the projectors already fitted(which I'll be first in line to grab) I'm gonna stick with my easy way out. Which I think still looks good.

Oh ya I have 6500k from previous car going on this one ahould have them in by this weekend.
