I was told that all aftermarket light conversion/mod was illegal full stop.

A spray and leveler does not make it illegal because i have a euro accord with HID which have neither spray of leveler. If according to that dude's theory then all stock luxury euro accords would be illegal?

At the moment I have 8k HIDs on my DC5Rs for about 1 and half months now and I have never been pulled over, even though I passed by many cop cars. Maybe I am lucky but its hardly "get pulled over all the time".

Blubs do not even come close to looking like HID from far away and honestly when you get a close look of a car with bulbs it just looks rice.

Like MrThanh said if you want to do it do it properly, go all the way. HID is the ONLY way!
