HID on DC2

[mpk_3]

hey guys i've just bought a new 5000k HID kit for cheap. really stupid of me not to do research in the first place to find out whether or not they're legal. i have stock headlight
housing btw.

could i get away with them by just
a) properly adjusting the headlights
b) getting projector housing
or
c) just sell the kit

cheers

up to 6500k are legal.
best way to do it is hide the ballast in the front bar. what the police cant see theey cant deem illegal.
although remember. whatever it is in todays day. everything that is modified/added/missing on your car is deemed "illegal"


a) properly adjusting the headlights: yehh.. you can lower the beams but defeats the purpose of having them
b) getting projector housing: dc2's have projectors.
or
c) just sell the kit: if you want.

cool i'll test it tonight with a mate's car if its blinding or not. i installed the ballasts inside the fender
together with my other wire tucks.

i also tried turning the headlight adjusters with a screw driver but the beam is not moving.

would be keen to know the experiences of others.

i just shoved them in and didnt care lol

i thought all HID on non factory HID cars were illegal?..

Just adjust them lower and that'll be enough to avoid any certain trouble

@RR-04-RR from what i've read they are illegal. i wish i did my research before buying lol.
how long have you had yours installed and what colour temp do you have?
do you get flashed by oncoming traffic?

[Samm928]

i've got 8000k on my dc2r... who gives a fk...

your going to mod your car. then whatever you do its going to become illegal.

if your missing your glove box or ash tray = illegal.
if your seat belts dont wind up = illegal
if you get different size tyres or rims= illegal

HID's are illegal. But at the end of the day the cop would have to be a real a-hole to defect them. I say just put them in and you shouldn't get hassled

I had them on for 6 months using 6000k before selling the car, no flashes as i adjusted it down a tad

And i agree with Samm928... if you're worried about anything illegal,, dont do it.. keep it stock

[Samm928]

whats the fun in keeping it stock. =)

Its not fun when you dazzle oncoming traffic and the lady crashes into a tree killing her kids is it

Just leave it stock or get projectors

you forgot to add that there was a family of bunnies living under the tree who all caught fire and ran around dying as well as the baby doves in the tree who fell to their death.
