Default Re: hid conversion

t doesn't matter what type of bulb it is, the ONLY "street legal" (which is the key word) HID systems come straight from the factory, everything else is for show/off-road purposes. I know it's easy to make it "look" like it came from the factory because I also have HIDs installed. Do the cops care...no. Should you be worried...no. There are a lot of things are illegal "by the book" but are overlooked by law enforcement. I'm sure on the McCulloch box it states "for off-road/show use only".

Pulled this from a site.
Are these XENON HID light systems street legal?
Every country and jurisdiction has its own rules and regulations governing the use of automotive lighting. XENON H.I.D. lighting systems that are supplied with the vehicles from the factory are DOT / E approved. The same OEM manufacturers that supply all the major car companies of the world also make our kits. NO XENON H.I.D. lighting system available from any source is DOT / E approved if installed outside of the factory. These kits are not street legal for use on public roads as they are. As a result, we officially endorse the kit for exhibition and off-road use and will only sell the kit to be used for these purposes. We are not responsible for customers who violate the terms of sale in which they will assume all responsibilities for any unauthorized or unintended use other than exhibition or off-road use.
There's no reason to worry, but I would suggest getting the 4,200K bulbs if you get HIDs.
