Is it legal for putting HID on high mean?

I have already put HID on my low beam and it looks brighter white (hump)

'no, but it isn't legal to put them on your low beam either

you can get HID bulbs to do the highbeam, but your meant to have a halogen in your high beam too, for some reason.. i think its do do with teh ignition time

Click to expand...

well done, and good evening to you

why it isn't is due to the cut off being in the incorrect place to focus the light properly....
also HID lights have self levellers so as to not shine too far up hills (so as to not blind on coming drivers) and also to protect against fat asses in the back seat tilting the front of the car up!!



bah who cares, they look s*** hot, and they work

The stock HID is legal.

I may put white halogen bulb to my highbeam...that should be okay then.

I'm not worried about HIDs, I'm just gonna get some Philips 4300K pure white thingies when I can be bothered. Damn, you want more light, you get a brighter globe if the wiring can handle it...

if you want to improve vision try out philips all weather globes...

or something to that effect... they are yellow...

yellow being the most re-active colour to the human eye.... also the reason night driving specs are yellow...
