I just posted these pics in another thread, but it looks like they might belong here also....These pics show an hid "system" not just a "kit" installed in a halogen housing.
EDIT: Links from a different "non-changing" spot:
Pic #1
Pic #2. A comparison between an hid "Kit" in a halogen housing and a retrofitted oem "system"....It's about half way down the screen.
This is how hid "systems" look (non-glaring)....and now hopefully everyone will see why you should never put hid "kits" into a halogen housing (not to mention it's not DOT approved).

i guess i'll post here too:
for the lazy people:
it's ILLEGAL and it's the fact that you have complete DISREGARD for other's safety. The glare you put off is not only distracting for oncoming traffic and the people in front of you, but it's a danger for them as well. The police in your area (or the person/people you've talked to) are uninformed. It doesn't matter if the police chief has it, it does not mean it's legal.
And you're right, you have it and you love it and we can't change your opinions on them. But your lack of regards for other's safety AND your pompous, arrogant "i have a brighter lights than others and I love it when people are pissed at my lights" is just ridiculous.

also i have checked and talked personaly with state troopers and police chiefs on this issue of having hid bulbs in non stock applications and they all told me that there is no law saying that it is illegal and that the state police cheif had them in his 96 lifted suburban.
i also talked to the inspection station and they said that they also had no law about it they just had to match the scale of height in there inspection bay. also everyone siad the light color didnt matter as long as they are not flashing in a strobe pattern they are legal.
so i have talked to everyone there is to ask before i bougt and have had no trouble maby it is more strict near u but if u dont want them dont get them but ill never have a car without them.
thats all i have to say u can say what ever u want :)

I got 12k in Diamond Cut clear headlights....No lack of light, Nicks seen them, ive had 2 state inspections with them in and have had no issues reguarding laws. The blue lights (Piaa, Eurolight etc) are illeagle but they allow the upgrade kit for HID. Thats New Hampshire Motor Vehicle laws anyhow.
Ive had mine on for a while and gotten the high beams a handful of times, maybe 5 times, maybe mine just arnt as bright? There purple (like a black light). Im on the FD so i mean if they were an issue theyde come out immeditly!! So far i havnt had any concerns or people high beaming me enough to think there a threat to others well being/safety
