Around here 99% of the vehicles with the super bright HID headlights are illegal as SC code states it's against the law to change the performance of headlights as designed. One of the smaller police departments here declared a "jihad" against them after some bright light idiot caused an accident. Someone comes through town blinding everybody and they see it they stroke them a ticket for 2 points and $237.50. Last time I checked with my friend they haven't lost a single case. Said the leading defense tends to be "There was nobody else on the road so it wasn't hurting anybody" Judge would reply "Evidently there was someone else on the road since the officer wrote the violation."

fwiw Kap, when I replaced mine with LEDs, I only replaced the low beams.....

it's made a huge difference for me relative to personal safety when I drive at night in unlit areas.....

there's no questioning those with 'white lighting' when on high beam is an issue....
