That's an odd way to tell us that you now have purple headlights.

Seeing as how it's legal to drive monster trucks on the roads in alabama (your spelling) I doubt anyone is concerned about headlight color.

Check with your D.O.T. or the local lawman. A lot of it depends on color vs. light output and is discretionary (For instance, a nice bright light with a purple tint vs a blacklight)

Other than the lack of capitalization, what's wrong with the way the OP spelled Alabama?

hey now my buddy is running 12k 55wat hid granted they look more like 8k but never the less he can still see but for peak brightness 4.3k-6k

ALL HIDs that didn't come factory in a vehicle are illegal.
Cops are pretty lenient around here as long as they're 8000K or less.


But deep blue, pink, purple, green, etc will be major magnets.

i think they are illegal in our state bro.

[onelivinlarge]

cops dont give a shit about my 6k they think they r silverstar ultras for some reason.

plus a note guys if you hold a white piece of paper in front of your light and they shine white they r supposed to be legal. but if they shine blue purple pink green ect illegal. so true hid your supposed to be able to get away with it because they shine white. but im not positive how that all works

[blackex]

just put it on. if you get pull over then its illegal and give him bullshit excuse like it came with the car when you bought it. if you don't get pull over
then you are home free.

Oddly, around here in the ATL I've never seen or heard of anybody being pulled over for any. I see obnoxious glare from HID's in stock housings, stupid ass fake purple, pink, and green all the time. it's retarded if you ask me. But hey, to each their own I suppose.

I had 8k in stock housings aimed down for the longest and never once got hassled, or flashed by other drivers, for that matter.

But as JOSHM stated, technically any non factory HID set up is illegal.

Ive got 13k in mine car and they look like a 6k with a tint of purple. So no cops care. Now if you are going to run 30k like my friend did, he got a ticket.

I've seen a couple of cars with the purple ones and they don't look half as bright as the 6k's

Because they aren't as bright. The higher the Kelvin rating, the dimmer they are.
