I understand where the OP is coming from, however not every car is the same and not every car projects light exactly the same, so one car might have HIDs in there regular housing and it could be really bothersome and another car might have HIDs in there regular housing and it may not bother anyone. You can't treat every car the same. To go back to the point of being illegal, there are so many things people do and will do to there car or do while driving there car that is beyond illegal, but people are still going to do it. You can change the what people want to do or want to do to there cars. If it is truly illegal, then eventually I am sure it will catch up to everyone in some way. Whether it be getting pulled over by the cops or whatever the case may be. I myself have not heard of any accident being caused by a person with HIDs in there regular headlight housing. To each there own. Stop bitching about what people do to there cars.
