no i have had no issues with getting flashed or with cops. i did not adjust the lights either. the stock housing reflect light so poorly i dont think its an issue. IMO yes the HID's are an improvement but they still suck. the output is much better with the 55w HID's but i wish it could be better still. i will be getting retrofit lights in the hopefully near future. if u cant afford retrofits now i would pick up some hid's if u can get some good ones cheap but if u can swing some retrofits do it and dont look back.
hope this helps bro. any more Q's feel free to ask!
