cloud77 Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 ebay has a variety of HIDs just find what size your lows and highs are and order them up. They are easy to put in and are the brightest solution to your visuals. HIDs are actually easier on your eyes than halogens, so no, you won't be that asshole with bright lights If you want the most usable light for highs and lows I prefer 6k for color and make sure you get 55 W ballasts 2004 Grand Prix GT (2) 12" RE XXXs (04/05 XBL^2) 5 cu. ft tuned @ 35 Hz MMATS HD4000.05 MMATS SQ4100 Infinity Kappa components Juice Box black cherry Duralast platinum group 34 1/0 KNU OFC, 2/0 welding Singer 250A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jk13 Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 HIDs are actually easier on your eyes than halogens, so no, you won't be that asshole with bright lights It's not just about brightness, it's about spray pattern. They are illegal in stock housings for a reason. My shop got a "cease and desist" letter from our local government to stop selling bulb kits only or face consequences about 10 years ago. We really don't do any HIDs any more unless they are either in new housings or OEM upgrade/swap. Kudos to the OP for knowing and respecting that. And the new l.e.d. options are great if you can find one in your price range. Then at least they are not on all the time. Static drops are my bag.

Evan_P Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 From what I have seen, HID's in stock housings are usually worse than a good set of halogens. And like stated above, it isn't the brightness of the HID, its the glare created in the lens of the headlight that blind people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are not illegal, its up to the officer to decide if they are blinding to opposing traffic. They don't recommend halogen projectors for HIDs because halogen projectors are pointed higher. If you buy HIDs you just have to make sure you point them downward with adjustment. 2004 Grand Prix GT (2) 12" RE XXXs (04/05 XBL^2) 5 cu. ft tuned @ 35 Hz MMATS HD4000.05 MMATS SQ4100 Infinity Kappa components Juice Box black cherry Duralast platinum group 34 1/0 KNU OFC, 2/0 welding Singer 250A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hdorre Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 They are not illegal, its up to the officer to decide if they are blinding to opposing traffic. They don't recommend halogen projectors for HIDs because halogen projectors are pointed higher. If you buy HIDs you just have to make sure you point them downward with adjustment. Please, just stop. Not at all. Halogen headlamps have reflectors, which spatter the beam. Projectors are more uniform. Ever notice the difference in cutoff between the two housings? If what you said was true (in this thread as a whole), then HIDs in stock halogen housings wouldn't be so frowned upon. You could resolve the issue by just realigning the headlights. Not only is putting HIDs in halogens inconsiderate and selfish, but I find it to be a waste of money. Your HIDs emit more light than the factory bulbs. Cool, but why does it matter when that light is being reflected to the top of the trees, and into the bushes on the side of the road? If Im going to pay to upgrade anything on my car, its going to be an actual upgrade. On a side note.. Are you one of those assholes who blinds us?
