Been DOT inspected a couple of times with no problem. Just don't act like a fool and blind everybody with it and you should have no problem. -
crb, RedForeman, Joetro and 1 other person Thank this.

You want projectors, not reflectors. Most of the modern reflectors create glare IMHO. My HID projectors have the straight horizontal cutoff line which I aim just below the side view mirror of your average passenger car. Same height as regular van trailer floor.
I've had the same as those Starr HID for over 10 years and the only drawback is Xenon bulbs will lose brightness over the years. -
Some are worse than others but I've survived 900K miles on my truck w/o fog lights and really think that anyone running them should be cited and fined.
To me the only ones worse are pickups hauling a trailer heavy on the back with their foglights on because their headlights don't stay on the road blinding everyone they meet, but both shine too high from hauling. -

I ran a test set for trucklite . They are what you are seeing in the Penske cascadias . Love them ! They took the test ones back , and gave a production set! Only iced up once where they got dim. If running in that hard freezing rain , you going to have to stop and clear the wipers , wipe the head lights off. All told ran two years between the two sets. Should last 12 years?

I am thinking Rain-X or a real good wax on LED headlights could prevent most ice and snow from building up on them.

So with all of these fancy HID kits you all are discussing. What exactly do you do when a ballast burns out? In the middle of nowhere. I dunno I'll just keep good ole Halogens laying around.
