Are HID lights worth getting ????

[Bushy]

sorry if this has been already asked... but

as title says are HID hi/lo lights worth it in the stock ( tear drop head lights)..

as after a while i will go the after market projector lens with black background ( eBay ones ) or are there a better set to get

or the after market projector lens with black background and halo rings ( angel lights )

but really wanna know what to get first the HID Hi/Lo or the after market projector lens as i do a lot driving at night on high way/goat trials ( out bush ) and a lot of it is out where i need bright and clear lighting

what are you opinions about this

 

[wraith]

If you want to stay legal and not annoy people get better globes. If you want to go illegal and potentially dazzle oncoming motorists then by all means go HID.

 

[Bushy]

so Hid are not legal ??

 

[wraith]

Definitely not. Unless they came out with them from factory then it's a pretty exhaustive process to get them approved.

 

[Bushy]

hmm ok then as i was under the impression if its a clear/white light its legal.. ( as i was pulled over by cops for blue parkers and he told me it had to be clear or white lol and gave me $100 fine and left )

 

[wraith]

Nope HID's are illegal. Far too much chance to dazzle oncoming road users.

 

[Bushy]

all right then.. what about the projector lenses and also the ones that have halo rings round the projector lens.. are they also illegal

 

[wraith]

Most are as there not ADR approved but it's not something that often gets picked up on.

 

[Bushy]

alright.. thanx for the advice.. might just forget about the HID and go the after market lenses with the brights globes i can find

i was thinking getting one of those hid lights too, now I can just totally forget it if it is illegal
