HID question

[migzz]

Im just anewbie here and I dont know how to use sa search feature to its full potential. Im sorry. Anyway I have a question, is there an illegal kelvin temperature for HIDs here in California?
some say that its ok but im not really sure. Is it good to have 8k hids + the black crystal assembly sold on ebay?

thanks guys I appreciate it. :D

[fliegendaffe]

[migzz]

[fliegendaffe]

Any alteration to vehicle lighting is prohibited anywhere. For the most part though, you can get away with similar to factory HIDs.

Nice ride btw, the lip and wheels look great together.

external lighting, maybe

internal lighting, depends on where the lighting is

thanks man . Thats what i heard hmm only vehicles that come with hids are legal... i think i would likely be in trouble huh .. any suggestions ? im kinda noob so i dunnno what to do next.

how the hell are they going to know if it is factory or not? they aren't

stick to 4300K or 5000K which is very white and looks oem, which wouldn't grab attention like the blue hue in 8K if your worried. Don't get anything higher then 8K very ricer and cops are going to know its aftermarket. I had 8K and it wasn't even that bright plus inspection guy seen then and knew galants dont have hids from factory so he told me to swap them out and bring the car back. Recently i just got inspected again but now i have 4300K, this time guy didnt say nothing same guy.

anyone can spot a plug and play kit over factory hids. plug and play kits have tons of glare and blind people, factory hids have something called a cutoff and so do retrofits

yeah they'll find it if they open the hood but i doubt it's something you'll get pulled over for

i dont know how IL is, but in DE,PA they pull ur ass over for anything not amber turns and or not stock looking headlights

i've been in IL, IN, MI, and Ontario like this and nothing

I've driven all over the midwest without issues.

Granted its not legal, never been even noticed by the powers that be. Personally though HID projectors would be the best solution.

[migzz]

I dunno here at the west but ill just stick with my silverstar ultra for a while :D

Is there really a 5000 K bulb? i saw this one http://www.coolbulbs.com/polarg.asp and im not sure of it :D

[RedGalant2k1]

Sure there are 5000k bulbs. They won't be quite like real HID, but the Polargs are a great choice, great bulbs, great company. I've never heard complaints about them.

[migzz]

oh okay thanks ill try this one :D

[Reelax]

i'm in Los Angeles. i have 3 full sets of HID's on my car 6000K. i've never been pulled over for my lights... i think the lights are the last thing i would get pulled over for.

[migzz]

Im in central valley and I dont know lol cops got nothin to do around here so maybe theres a higher chance to get pulled over for having 8000ks :D maybe ill just stick with 5000ks for a while. :)
