No, you got lucky... or, like many cops he doesn't know or care about the law. You cannot, in any state, run forward facing blue lighting on a running vehicle... It's a BIG ticket and it's up to them what level of blue constitutes blue. Overall, it's a shit idea anyway as the human eye has a harder and harder time seeing fine detail the further you get away from the yellow-green spectrum... it's just about brightness.

Run DOT legal housings of better. The less you blind other drivers the less likely you are to get hit (yes, blinded people naturally turn INTO bright objects) and you're less likely to get noticed by police. Cibie E-Code housings are phenomenal and put the light where you need it much better than cheap ebay housings.

While you're on stock lighting I suggest you rewire the headlights to allow more current. Look up "Daniel Stearn Lighting" for more info.... might be spelled "Stern".

I got 30,000 k but I don't think the ones they sent me r 30,000k because they r not that blue mine r white bluish. The blue led fog light I had was way more blue then my HIDs like also as blue as the cop lights that's what he made me change.

The kits sound very nice, my guy has weak headlamps and it is very dark in the countryside. Otherwise he is driving OK and is a change of pace from the "lawnmower".
Oh does anyone have any feedback on that firm?

they make some nice looking sealed beam replacments these dayz.... just tossed these on mine...

im gonna change the h3 bulb to a yellow...and the running bulb to a 4 LED 194..

are those a sealed beam or a composite where you can use a normal bulb? where did you get them from and how much did they cost you?

I have the same looking housing but mine has a led halo ring that goes around the edge. I'm running HIDs in them

[bbullsj]

what brand are they, where did you get them and how much did they cost?

My mechanic said part of my problem was the cars wiring. So in the web page of the company it wrote something about another harness. I am not sure if stronger lights without a wiring upgrade is just a good thing.

The hid kitS hook up to the battery for the 12v's then they have another plug that plugs into one of the h4 oem plug so when u turn ur lights on it tell the hid to come on. Just like a switch
