HID headlights???

That's not why. They ARE illegal because the beam pattern of HID's in a halogen housing is inconsistent and it supposedly blinds people.

I get blinded my car's that come stock with HID's so it's not a big deal at all, and you won't get stopped by the cops unless you get a funky color like bright blue or pink. Stick with 4000-8000k to be safe, but I think 10000k looks best. Also the lower the k# is, the more lumens the light puts out.

I have them in my car and HID's are prob one of my fav mods, it's cheap and makes your car look a lot better.

Oh really? Then why do many OEM's offer HIDs in non-projector housing? Like Merc...

Stick to 5K or 6K to realize the benefits of HID. At 8K and above and definitely in the 10K plus range you will start to fatigue your eyes on long drivers and the light output is extremely diminished.

Yes but the headlight is modified to spread the HID beam pattern in such a way that it doesn't cause glare. Trust me, go look it up, it's actually pretty technical so I'm not going into detail.

I have 8000k and I can see much better than my halogen lights. No matter what anyone says, any k of HID lights put out way more lumens than halogen lights. So get what you want, and the light output does get worse, but not by too much. I'm about to switch it up to 10000k

Super bright blue looks so mean...I might do it later today...hhmmmm
