technically if the vehicle did not come stock with hid;s then they are illegal.
thats why they say for off road and show use only

off road use only....only applications that are legal are ones that use Projector Style Headlight housings....all reflector style housings are illegal no matter what temp bulbs you get...
I have 6000K in my car though and have never had an issue....had a buddy with 8K and got a ticket for them....they are more noticeable and most cops know they are illegal, just dont want to hastle people unless they really get blinded... |

there are a handful of cars out there that have reflector housings designed for HID. But in that case you already have HID so you dont need it. |
