Is there really a problem with the HID's. I have after market ones on my car they are 12000k in a projector housing (stock on 2004 solara)... i will be the first to admit they are bright but they look exactly like the stock headlights on my moms acura TL... im not arguing with anyone just curious. They have saved me many times especially in the fog they are great. But to each his own.

We have good gun laws, really?

EDIT: Look at the, I think, 6 commonwealths laws. They are dumber than a states laws.

EDIT num2: HIDs in a proper housing like a projector are ok because it directs them. HIDs in a reflective housing are fucking retarded.

Ah, I was unaware they were separate things. That being the case ...

9. The vehicle has unapproved lens or plastic covers, any other materials that are not original equipment or any colored material placed on or in front of rear lamps, license plate lamps and rear lamp combinations.
However, this went into effect March 1, 2008 as has been mentioned before.

honestly what is the purpose behind tinting your tail lights anyways... doesn't it defeat the purpose of having them. Now i mean a light and i mean light tint i can understand but the people that straight up black them out and then bitch and moan when they catch a rear-end from hell... whats the point. Personally i dont think it looks that great anyways. Just my opinion.
