Re: hid install
Its because you have HIDs in a NON hid housing, Youll need to do a retro fit for a clean cut off line, Your stock housing doesnt have that, It reflects the light all over the place and looks like ****.

Re: hid install
Retrofit or ban. You should get someone else to drive your car towards you at night so you can see exactly what everyone else is seeing with your shitty *** HID's. The glare with those kits is insane!

Re: hid install
Someone correct me if I'm wrong. But I've heard in some places to install an HID setup in a halogen housing is illegal?? I almost hope it is. I daily a Ford Ranger and I've been blinded by a**holes that like to put HID's in factory halogen units. Someone shed some light on this... (No pun intended lol)

Re: hid install
no pnp kit is legal, in any state, but some states may have a higher tolerance for them. i have never been messed with.
have you tried aiming them? it prolly just glare and you cant aim that.

Re: hid install
You get a pair of OEM projectors, bulbs (philips 85122), and ballasts. For projectors you can use out of and Acura TL, Infinity FX sereis etc. as long as they are bi-xenon to keep the hi and low beam function. The Retrofit Source also has a projector called the FX-R which is basically a modified FX projecor, priced pretty reasonable for the peformance you get with it. So after you get all the necessary parts it's time to open up your headlights and mount the projectors in there. There are more detailed write-ups available if you just search.
