Who here has HIDs?

I did a search for "HID" and nothing turned up. I am just curious who has them and what your experience was. Has anyone had any problems with cops pulling them over for them?

I believe that Patrick/ 02redz28 has them.

I've got them and I love them. The install was easy, plug and play, and they require no modification other than being crafty about the ballast placement. They are street legal, so i've never had a problem with the police.

Which make model do you have? I am looking at a set of 8000Ks. Are those too bright? Have you ever been hassled for having HIDs? What housings are you using. I am looking at the Eurolights conversion.

Non-factory HID are illegal in all states.One thing that you could do Ben, buy the sealed beam housings from Eurolamps.com, I got them there and really like them, and then get an HID kit.

Thats exactly what I was thinking. Would that make it more "legal"? Thanks for the help BTW.

[my95z28]

Yeah, the thing that is so illegal about them is that people just cut the back end of the housing up, and then RTV the bulb in place. In michigan I don't think that would be a huge deal, but states with inspection I think you might have issues with it.

[phoenix_rising]

Cool. Then that is what I will do. Are 8000Ks too bright? Also would you pay $50 shipped for a used but working set of 8000ks?

They are McCulloch 8000K. They are the perfect brightness. Ive never been hassled for having them. The bulbs for my car are a direct plug in to the stock housing. I didnt have to modify anything to make it work.

Cool double thanks guys!

Where did you find the fog lamps? I'd like a set of those if you can give me a lead.

Been running them for about 9 months now. Love them. I'm running "ice" style housings with them in my Firebird (and even have them on the motorcycle). I am, though, waiting on a pair of projector housings to come in so that I can more completely focus the light to the road, but have had no problems with them at all, except when people just pull right in front of me (as if I don't exist), they quickly learn the error they made. Other than trying to see if I can get a powerful beam to the street, no problems. Plus they use about half the power regular bulbs use. They were about $65 through Ebay.

P.S. By the way, my AVI is with the HIDs.

I have 8000's in my camaro and in my intrepid. I ordered sets for the fogs in my camaro but im yet to find a set that fits, the bulbs are too long in every kit ive tried.

Whos got camaro fog hid's who did you get them from and what bulb size did you use?
