Because they are 3k yellow fog lights you most likely found on e-bay and not original factory equipment. Before you try bashing me read the disclaimer on the box, if it is not DOT approved then it is not legal. The vehicles that were listed as in fact having HID fog lights have special HID housings so they do not blind other drivers, in which case they ARE DOT APPROVED.

............Typically, HID conversion kits come with two bulbs and ballasts, clamps, screws, and wires. The kits are designed for "do-it-yourselfers" and are reasonably priced. However, the reason they run afoul of DOT regulations is because, unless the HID lights are properly aligned, usually with laser leveling, they can become a road hazard to oncoming traffic. In addition, DOT regulations require replacement equipment conform to original factory specifications. It is the position of the DOT that the only vehicles legally allowed to operate with HID lamps are cars that were originally manufactured with them..........
