how many of you get hassled for having HIDs?

And what temp. rating do you have?

I had 10,000K on my Jetta. Never got a ticket and I was pulled over twice unrelated to the H.I.D.S (speeding).

It's not going to change anytime soon -- it's the way of the future dude. The days of burning a filiment are over... it's time to burn xenon gas!! :)

That's because they're unadjusted. HIDs that are slightly off-aim are 20x worse than regular unadjusted bulbs.

Technically, you can get pulled over for HID's, if the cops think they're aftermarket. Then you'd have to prove that they're factory.....in court....

Of course they seem brighter because they sit higher. However, they can become unadjusted very easily pretty quick. Why do you think that in Europe, they requre headlight adjust every single year as part of your yearly motor vehicle inspection?

And why do you think self-leveling HIDs are available?

seems like brake checks will be the wave of MY future.

maybe I'll pull a corey hart and wear my sunglasses at night.

Tinted windows help so much with those suv lights, except i wish i could tint my side view mirrors too.
