HID convertion

[MWood]

To the post about HID retrofit's being illegal, do you have a reference for that? I have looked at Illinois Statue, and I do not see any reference to this. Is it a federal law? I have seen other references to a "DOT regulation" but have not seen it in writing. If it is in writing, they are probably talking about HID retrofits into Halogen headlights.

And to the OP (and anyone else that wants to do HID's this way), it may look great to you but what about oncoming drivers? Only way to properly do a HID conversion is to get HID projectors, bulb, balast, and harness and not JUST a bulb, balast and harness.

For a HID to properly perform they need to be aimed and have the correct cutoff. That is what keeps from blinding oncoming drivers.
