well there you go the kits sold for use in headlights designed for halogens are illegal... kinda what I figured and advised against ( search other hid threads if you search you will see that)
It simply makes no sense to outlaw kits were HID's are sold in the correct housings....and its laws like that (and j walking) that are never enforced because they have little or no merit...if they are worried about standards they should make a certification to meet like they do with everything else.... you cant tell people they have to buy a $30,000 car to be able to see as well as the people driving them...its unamaerican stupid law or not...alcohol was illegal once too people didnt pay too much attention to that law either...

If HID's were so overrated you wouldnt see them on every car over 45grand...

Well I know understand how the lights work... I quit reading half way through and started skimming cuz that's a butt load of info.

My cousin in Germany told me Germany makes HID's as they build BMW's with them. Hes a dope though.

they do phillips makes them in Germany for bmw audi mercedes and others... 011500Ram kinda changed his story to say only the kits are made in china by one company...also not true however I do believe most would made and others packaged or rewired as kits and sold through China to avoid legal implications...

The local car audio/starter shop has a huge sign stating they sell and install HID kits... guess the police cant read on main street here in the city..
