awww srz ??? :(

mmm so basically if i did install them, the beam would be all over the road ay coz its not focused properly ?

:S

nah not really, they just say that it MAY dazzle on coming traffic,
aim them down and it shouldnt be a problem.

you would have to be doing some stupid **** for the jacks to dick you on Hid's.

they wouldnt bother just for that. as its so easy to change them back over. 1hour tops!

You will look like a knob without having the proper headlights. And it’s a hazard to other drivers.

The best way around this is to buy the Altezza head lights from eBay or where ever, which have the projector lenses.

They are also illegal because they are NOT self leveling. There is also something that if they don’t have features to remove frost or water they are illegal also.

Just because you have never been done, Doesn’t mean they are legal. Do a search, There is a fair bit of information on them within the sight.

Halogen headlights are made to throw a lil light up to light up street signs. Just enough so it doesn't(shouldn't) dazzle people. When you throw HID's in, that "lil light" becomes ****ing bright. Even with projectors thats aren't designed for HID's, they throw too much light up. With proper HID projectors, that light is minimized, the cutoff line is designed better so it doesn't blind people, its got built in autowashers, and a self leveling system.
Chances are if you've been blinded by HIDs it wouldn't of been in cars which halogen headlights with a PnP HID kit eg. hondas and ****

i think you will find alot of those Brighter white/ Blue kits are also only "for off road Use"

i agree with getting the aftermarket headlights with the lenses in them. im saving up for them next. some focus is better than none,

i dont know about other kits, but the ones i have been using actually have a deflector over half the "globe" to keep the light level cut off at a reasonable height.
