Re: Xenon bulbs / U.S. spec lights

Dirk (and everybody else following this thread),
Sorry to say it, but in the US the only legal headlight colors are white,
yellow/white, and yellow.  Blue is not a legal headlight color.
What about MB and BMW and Lincoln you ask?  Don't they have HID headlights
that cast blue light?  No, they don't cast blue light, the light they do
cast is simply SO white that it looks blue.
What about all the Rice-Boys, you ask?  Around here (Dallas, TX) cops have
started ticketing a few of the blue headlight boys.
And despite what you say about their safety they do not project as bright a
beam of light as the stock halogens on ANY of the cars in which I have seen
them installed.
Last but not least, and I'm not trying to be insulting to you, they do look
stupid.  But I guess if your aim is emulating the slammed Civic Rice-Boy
look, thats your call.
This is all IMHO, and said with a friendly :-)>!

careful what you say man,
as I sent those lamps to Mark.
They„re looking awesome, are legal (at least here in the homeland of the
Rocco)
they are not too bright to annoy others
and are no junk at all.
and why should they be dangerous ?
are you afraid of seeing a child in the dark too early ?
