well after that legal research, i'm just gonna HID the fogs. Reason being, Arlington/Pantego/Dalworthington Gardens cops are (insert random ASCII characters here) and will pull you over for d@mn near anything they can find in the books. My dad has a couple ONE mile per hour over the limit tickets from APD...seriously..they dig deep. One of my friends from school got a $75 ticket for his inspection sticker being 5 days expired going through Pantego. I'm not gonna risk it without the proper lenses.

yea but without the eyelids I'd just be ASKING to get pulled over for blinding oncoming drivers.

Now I could go and get the real HID lenses for $300 a pair, but that'd be way down the road. I linked to a few on the last page that are rated for 35W HID's that have quarter-way decent styling. All the good kits are for rams, of course, and we get left out.

I have been fine with mine. I adjusted the Lights and no flashers. I do understand your point. I normally would get pulled over by me as well as our cops will pull you over for anything. Being on the Fire Dept kinda gives you a free pass unless you really do something stupid.

Yeah Coppell, Grapevine & Carrollton are bad too. I use to work all over the DFW Metroplex so I found out where to slow up a bit. Live 20 min south of Ft Worth now kinda in the country and really like it. Some city cops are just ridiculous, but that's how it goes I guess.
