Default My First Real Mod 56k No No

This is the first mod I have done to the car ... I have been very good and not touched the car for two months ... I guess it is time.

I don't get the legal part ... they are the same color as in some of the Lexus models straight off the lot.

No most factory cars have 6k some 8k. I dont think I've ever seen any factory 10k.

no, they dont make cars with 10K stockers (at least that I know of). It is illegal in most areas.

Factory HIDs are rated at 4300K. It's the projectors that cause the blue and purple that you see.

anything above 6000k and up is illegal everywhere im pretty sure. Also, its techinically illegal to run aftermarket HIDs (this includes 4300 and 4500) on a car not equipped from factory with HIDs. The reason why it doesnt seem like its illegal is because most cops wont bother wasting time pulling you over for something so pointless unless you are actually blinding them

why is it illegal to put in aftermarket hids if they are 4300 on a car that doesn't come from the factory with them?
