Post by P.Gaudreault »

Is there someone who installed HID retrofit in there headlight?? I'm thinking to do this instead of buying DOT light.

Something like this:

I have a basic HID kit in my van, they're fantastic but I'm not sure how DOT legal they are.

Can the HIDs be turned to point the correct direction? The reason you change headlights is to conform to DOT standards.

If I change only the bulbs for HID bulbs, no. It is the beam that reflect the light. If I install projector then it will be good.
