Why you say its bad? because the reflections? or physical damage?

i wouldn't do it, the light isn't spread evenly and you will blond other drivers coming towards you.

 

Am I going to burn up my harness or something?

 

Nope

 

i have had HID lights in my car for about a year now with no proplems, i havent been flashed and my dads friend works at the dmv and he looked at them and said its fine. there alittle bright but said not enought to hurt other cars on the road.

 

I have plenty of friend with Si's and SRT's with 10k in there stock headlights and dont have any issues

 

i say lock this before it becomes a flame war like the last one. you have your answer, these threads go nowhere.

 

He has his answer from one side of the spectrum. In the end it all comes down to a matter of opinion.

To answer your question no it will not do any physical damage to your car.

But it is still a bad idea to do it for many other reasons.

 

Going to go ahead and close this before it gets ugly. If you don't care about the safety of others, do it. There are plenty of threads about this.
