    technically if they didn't come on the stock then they are.
    You know better; next time will be a ban.

    Anyone that has HID's without projectors is illegal as well as it should be. That is way to much light to just be shining all over the road. Do it right and get some Projectors. On my GTI i have HID but i searched around and bought some projector headlights for pretty cheap. Now i have a crisp line that breaks from light and no light. dont have to worry about blinding anyway.

    cars that have HID's stock still blind....it all depends on how high a person has their lights aimed....

    As do some Ford cars but the housing/reflector is not the same as one for the halogen bulb.

    point is, HID's are the shit. If you whine about being blinded....find a way to deal with it. therapy, suicide, etc.....

    Point is, H.I.D.s with a projector retro is even better. But H.I.D.s FTW

    Well that's a cocky attitude. You'll never go back to halogens because you've gotten used to light that makes it hard for others to drive? Well, tough shit. You =/= the rest of the people on the road. The blinded has nothing to do with hurting my eyes, and everything to do with controlling a vehicle that is worth a lot to me in both money and sentimental value. Spilling a drink is nothing to get pissy over, crashing a whole car because of a cocky ass hole feeling safer replicating the sun is NOT worth it. I don't car if you have aftermarket HIDs, I don't care if they're stock, projector, retro-fitted, or w/e, so long as it is directional, non scattered, and doesn't look like a normal car's hi-beams, I am happy for you and I'm happy they help you see.

    ^^ Yeah, I drew a frame of a man running on each fan blade. That is him running at idle
