Fellow Fit Drivers w/ HIDs

Since we don't have oem projector headlamps....
Have you guys been pulled over for HID? i'm just wondering since I just bought one recently. it is 6000k white with a pinch blue.

nah don't worry about it, i doubt they will pull you over, if they do then go with 4300k or 5000k they look stock to me. but 6000k is perfect. lol just run'um hard.

it should be just a fix it ticket which is like 80 bucks

i run 8k hid's i just aimed them a little down to kill the glare a bit -- i've been behind sheriff and state troopers at red lights and the area where i live theres alot of cops and never had a problem --- i think judging by the way the fit looks some cops think its just stock lighting -- i barely get "flashed" by other drivers, mostly people in minivans flash their hi's at me --- old people ??

pass by cops all the time. no problems. imo they cant really complain because most cars come stock with HIDs and the OEM ones are brighter than the aftermarket ones. im at 6k too.

uhhhh you do know that fits in japan have HIDs w/o a projector. they just designed the reflective background different so there is no glare.
