HID head lights lights

I didn't know you couldn't have them. I've been looking for ways to upgrade my headlights but have not considered and HID conversion because of the added heat and what that might do to the housings and wiring.

 

I don't know how bright your lights are but do you get other drivers flashing brights back at you, a good sign they are to bright. I hate all the bright lights on all the newer vehicles, and the ads on tv about how good you can see with xxxx type headlight really pizz me off, of course you can and you can do the same thing by running your brights at all times. Several years ago a friend told me he had just installed new Sylvania xtra vision or some such thing, so monkey see monkey do, I put a set in my truck, the first night on the road I turn them off and back on as a stick hauler out of N.C. passes me going up Jellico, he tells me I can take those senior citizen headlights an stick up my sitter, I got off at the next exit and adjusted them down as low as I could til I got back home and changed them back. I realize you can see better with these brighter lights but the last thing I want is a blinded driver coming at me, especially on a two lane. Turning them off at scale houses will get you in trouble in some states like Tennessee, they want to see them on. I'm not trying to be an old fogey,but just my experiance.

 

I suppose just going to a better bulb would do the trick for me. I don't drive with my brights on to compensate.

 

If they are DOT approved you shouldn't have a problem, if thry're not sooner or later you will have a problem.

 

HID that have DOT or SAE on them are perfectly legal. Use them, they're a heck of a lot easier on the eyes.

 

Many new cars and trucks come with factory installed HID's.
