So I am interested in buying HID lights for both my low and high beams. I was going to purchase 35 watt 5000k HIDs for the low beam and 55Watt 5000k HIDs for the high beam. I thought this route was a cheaper alternative to the LED bars but still get brighter lighting. Well after doing some research I found out that HIDs installed as aftermarket are not DOT approved. If the HIDs came installed from the factory then they are DOT approved. Several websites that specialize in HIDs have put this statement out on their website I suppose for legal reason.
Has anyone been given a ticket or warning from the police on HIDs? I suppose a cop wouldn't bother you unless your HIDs were too bright and putting glare in oncoming driver's eyes.
I plan to make my Maverick street legal so maybe I just put HIDs for the high beam only.
