My apologies if there is already a thread like this, but I am looking into buying two HID kits for high and lows. I wanted to get those super violet lights, though in California, I ask if they are legal for the street. I have seen newer cars with them, but that doesn't always mean it is ok. Also, I have noticed everyone mentioning the super white lights to see better, which I can understand, but are these violet or super violet lights really going to hurt vision that bad? Because the people that have those lights have some very powerful beams and even alone, much better than my stock headlights. So I ask any of you who have them, or know for certain if in California they are legal, and if they really impair vision that badly. Someone recommended 4300K for lows on the street and 9004 for highs (at least I think it was 9004, something with a 4 in it).

i'm not sure what the laws in cali are about HIDs but i guess in utah they are illegal unless used with a projector lens. if you get the toyota projectors you will need to modify the beam cutoff because they are designed for RHD cars. if you do get jdm projectors most people won't know they are illegal because they are toyota parts. i want some but i can't afford projectors.
