Without projectors HID bulbs in halogen reflector housings is not worth it.. without HID reflectors and D2R (HID reflector type bulbs) or HID projectors with D2S HID bulbs you will blind oncoming traffic and risk tickets and only put out 1.5 times the light on the road as halogen. With a proper HID projector retrofit you will put up to 5X as much light focused on the road where it should be and should pass inspection fine...I do.

 

Yes it's illegal. And I sure do hate being blinded by asses with aftermarket HID's that can't get them aimed. Keep them in projectors and stop frying retinas.

 

i got 8000k no problems from cops/other drivers

hidynamics.com

 

celicas come with projectors stock so he wont have any problems with blinding people unless he goes higher than the 5000ks

 

They come w/projectors but I dont think they the right type. I have a 2000 celica and some of the newer celicas can come w/HID's from toyota. And there headlights are a little diffrent than non HID headlights.

I prolly wont do HID's right now, I can put that $250 elsewhere, perhaps in the future.

 

those are halogen projectors and dont have the proper cutoff for hids

 

I have BMW high/low beam HID's that were retrofitted to my tacoma lights....the ballasts have DOT marks on them....so do the bulbs..and projectors...and my headlights themselves....so i passed inspection because they are fully adjustable and DOT approved....

 

I passed with 10000K on my DA. I had the bi-zenon kit from hidworld.com, so u never know

 

8k -- Passed.

I know people with HID fogs that pass...

 

Friend of mine got ticketed for having 8k.
