Re: HID lights or similar
Also not true HID, which is what the author of the original thread was
researching. I don't understand why people want to use the blue-tinted
bulbs; less available light, non-compliant light patterns, run hotter,
burn out faster than stock clear bulbs, and annoy (possibly endanger)
oncoming drivers. AND, they don't even LOOK like true HID, which (I
suppose) was the original idea. If those bulbs have DOT stamped on them
and are not (quite likely) DOT-compliant, the seller can be liable for
an up to $10K fine for each occurrence of said sales. I have reported
the mentioned Site you named to NHTSA for investigation of its
merchandise.
