if i get them, i was just gonna keep my stock bulbs/spare boots handy. then swap when time for inspection

im wondering if Chris has projectors with his cause the beam on his headlights are pretty precise, you can actually tell the line where the light separates from what is beamed and what is not. look at the pic i quoted previously.

i din't knew aftermarket HIDs were illegal... aside from the fact that if they are pointed a lil upward it'll blind inoming traffic... but why is blue headlights illegal? someone enlighten me.

i've read on some post that white lights are dangerous in rain than yellow lights because they streak up everything. is this true?

check HIDPlanet, Chris, there are ways to mod ballasts for more power and such, you'll burn the ballast out quicker, but it can be done.

With so many good quality kits out there, outweighting the bad junk, you shouldnt have to deal with a shorter life spand modded ballast.. just looking out for ya is all.

I have seen the washer mods for projectors, but I have yet to see anything on modding ballasts. I think id just leave well enough alone in that area.

There are actually people who are modding Denso and other OEM ballasts as well, not sure what the benefits are, but then, some people don't know how to leave well enough alone.
