HID lights, I didn't see anything regarding this before Options

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).

Wow those purple lights are terrible. Thanks though! That is exactly what i was looking for. That sucks, I want JDMs but honestly don't want to hassle with the retrofit. *Sigh* What to do, what to do. The retrofit ones did (to me) look not as good as the JDMs though. They actually had that "homemade" look. I dunno. Well if you guys know anyone who does this well (makes those lights) or some way to get my hands on them, let me know. Unless the JDMs will suffice with the HID kits.

Thanks again guys, and thank you for that explanation. That was exactly what I needed to know.

ARe you kidding me? The retro fitted one is exactly the look you want. Can you see how much clearer everything is with a true retro fit? The jdm projectors from the outside will look sick, but from the drivers point of view the visibility won't be half as clear as a retrofitted headlight will be.
