yes. so? it's also illegal to modify any portion of your emmissions system. i.e. intake, exhaust, DP, etc.
Yeah, thats what threw me off when i was thinking about buying an HID kit. All the sites i went to said off road use only but everyone had them on their mazda 6 so i thought the sites were wrong, then i found this today right after my HID kit came. Hopefully i can make a clean install and not have any trouble.Most all HID kits will say that they are for Off Road Use Only.

Yeah. its the favorite thing to put on parts that are not supposed to "legally" be on your car. That way it saves their ass's and they can just be like "Look we sell these as off road use only, don't blame us"...Yeah, thats what threw me off when i was thinking about buying an HID kit.

i hate people that put hids in cars that didn't come with them. The headlight lens was not designed for HID pattern and it just glares which blinds on coming traffic. Its illegal and you can be sued if it causes an accident.

i hate trucks too but hids on regular cars are worse by far. Those guys that put hids in the protege forums, its awful how bad they glare. Almost makes me wanna break check them.ummm ok.... how about those pickup trucks that get behind me and shine their headlights right into my eyes, yeah my rearview dims but what about the side mirrors its glaring off of..... how about when they are coming the other way and blind me, can i sue them.... that is just a silly comment....

I think this is mostly a problem in vehicles that don't have focused-beam headlights. With regular housings, the beam isn't properly diffused and you get nothing but blinding light. If you've got a focused beam system, it shouldn't be any more obtrusive than a vehicle with factory HIDs (this is just my opinion based on conversions I've seen).i hate trucks too but hids on regular cars are worse by far.

took me about 4 seconds and no trouble at all to get mine out. But I also had my headlights completly taken apart and the bezel removed at the time LMAOIt was hard as hell for me to do. The damn piece didn't even budge! After about 1 hour of fudging around with it, I decided to just forget about the glare mod, and like I said before, all has been well.
