AnthonySkracic Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 Hids cannot be pointed straight in a halogen housing. The light still scatters everywhere which blinds oncoming traffic. Thats why you occasionally get people who flash their high beams at you. Also do you think auto manufactures could install a product like hids in their vehicles without it being DOT approved. HIDs in halogen housings are not DOT approved. You can get a ticket for them. I'm guilty of it having them too but I'm having my headlights retrofited with projectors. 2006 Chevy Silverado WT (Project Stealth)2-8" Sundown Audio SA-8 v1.5 (tuned to 33)Rockford AmpsFocal and Polk AudioStinger Wire and JL Audio RCAsPioneer AVH-P4300DVD (with bluetooth)PWK DesignsViper 5901 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
