Yes... and this is why I only do it in closed controlled environments (Industrial park parking lots on weekends).

Learned my lesson long ago about endangering myself and others on public roads.

Checked out your website as I actually am interested. When you click on the products link it says error 403, forbidden.
Don't mean to be a dick or anything but on your webpage Lightning Industries - High Performance Lighting HID Conversion kits High Intensity Discharge Xenon Lights it specifically says, "Kits are for show or off-road use only. These kits are not DOT approved."

This really doesn't matter to me as the "foglights" that I use are for off road use only as well. Anyways...

Just curious, but if HID headlamps are illegal in all 50 states, then why does Toyota offer them as factory options on cars, such as Sienna, Avalon, Prius, and Solara?

[-kj-]

It has to do with the light beam cutoff pattern, (the point at which the light shines directly into oncomming traffic).

Factory HID systems are usually in projector housings, which put the beam into a highly focused, narrow pattern... equivilant to halogen reflector housing... but more intense. All while NOT blinding oncomming drivers.

Halogen systems have a sharp beam pattern cutoff without the projector lense due to the bulbs light emiting properties.

Once you add the HID bulb to a factory halogen reflector (which are 99% of "plug&play" systems), you get a widely scattered beam that blinds the crap out of other drivers and dosen't do as well of a job at lighting up the road. Effectively sacraficing all of the befifits of HID just for the "cool look of HID".


I'd imagine if you got some DOT projector beams and installed the HID bulbs you would be perfectly legal.

[-kj-]

Then again.... if you do most of your "playing" off road.... then you could still look cool without getting in trouble.

If you're not interested in the Group Buy, don't post a reply, just MOVE ON.
If you have some official local gov or state gov docs that show the legality or illegality of these lights, please post them.

Thanks.
