hid conversion kits
 

hey all, what is your take on hid conversion kitsi really want to get one but am not sure which colour is legal? if i get the 12000k will i get pulled over? my friend got 10000k from this place and got pulled over by a dumb cop, he let em go when he showed him the kit was dot certified, i think he said he aimed them wrong. just wonderin if i will get in trouble for the 12000k purple lights in socal?

Dude, So Cal is cop crazy. I wouldn't recommend you have the 12k's. I've only seen 2 cars with the 12k's and i've been living in So Cal my entire life. A Scion TC on the 22 fwy, and a Evo on the streets. They're bright, but not too great. If i were you i would go with the 6k's or 7k's. I have the 6k's installed on my car with projectors. It's great because the projectors don't blind oncoming traffic, because they cut off at the middle. (:

dito.... 12K hids will get ya pulled over PREATY QUICKLY anywhere!


4K hids are close to most stock looks, but alittle to yellow for me personaly...
and personaly i like 6-8K hids 6s are mostly white with a hint of blue, and 8Ks are more blue but still bright.... any higher in temps and the light OUTPUT suffers and also draws more cops attention!


BUT on a side note.... unless the car was MADE with HIDs OEM i dont see them being truly DOT certified!

HID are not legal on a vehicle that did not come stock with them. but i have mine that i am doing a full retro that they will look stock and a dumb cop will let me go lol!!![8D]

i would say 6k-8k you will be fine. the 7ks are just about perfect. Just remember you get what you pay
