I just called Vertex and I was informed that the Department of Transportation
has now deemed the HID Aftermarket Lights Illegal!!!!
Sellers had their inventory checked and removed.
On that note, what make HID lights are currently the best to get?
and where can I get some? I need an Ebay name or store please.
4300-5000K color temp. Thanks

I might go with Litronics one of these days. But $2500+ is fairly steep (for me right now.) btw, the kits are technically illegal in CA, too. I think they are illegal in all the USA since none that I know of are DOT approved.
fwiw, I got mine here: http://www.mobilehid.com/
I only went with them because of their rep on other car forums. And mainly because he is a real person with a physical address and a real phone number. Sure enough one ballast was bad; but he shipped out a new one with no questions asked and at no cost and in one day (located in Arizona.)

If not alligned they blind the oncoming cars comes to mind. Also some aftermarket items run hot and can damage the wiring if the balast is incorrect or melt the plastic parts in the area.

Have these people never had a newer Ford pickup come at them? Brightest lights (on low beam) I know of and I drive roughly 2500miles/week. Most of these trucks also have the factory foglights blazing for no other reason than "it looks cool!" FOGLIGHTS are to be used IN THE FOG!!
Another bit of trivia. My 95 has OEM litronics as retrofitted by the first owner, my 97 has elcheapo HID conversion kit. The difference? Other than the $2K+ savings, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!

I think one reason for the ban is that many people replace their halogen bulbs in a non-projector light assembly. This can make for a dangerously wide and bright light pattern. The stock 993 headlight assembly is a perfect application for an HID bulb since the beam is projected through a directional lens. I was worried about blinding oncoming drivers before I did this mod, but I have my headlights aimed well and have never once had an oncoming driver flash their lights at me.

But they are illegal to use on the road. But I know there's not one cop in LA would could care about a 4300-6000K head lamp on a Porsche. It's the ricers and truck crowd with their super bright and obnoxious 8000-10000K lamps who get the fix-it tickets.
