Overdoing shit is fun though. It's the American Way.

Amen to that, Brother

The Nokya Arctic White Stage 1 bulbs I installed yesterday were not that good. Upon investgating I found out that these lights are not DOT approved. They are more for show other than providing light for driving. So the quest goes on to find better lights for driving.

I wish I could but, aftermarket HID's are illegal in my state. Its not like every cop is going pull you over and check but when it comes time for the state safety inspection it would fail and you will be required to remove them.

well, you just simply will not get brighter lights without installing a ballasted-higher wattage capable system. and let's get serious, they don't care if you have HIDs during inspections they just care that they work or not. and if you get a color that isn't that obnoxious blue color that screams PULL ME OVER...then the po po won't even notice.

Thanks Birdman. I not going to take the risk by installing the HID lamps. Here in Pa. there a few yahoos that will pull you over for just about anything. The last time I was pulled over he just wanted to look at the truck nothing else. I am sure I can find a better halogen lamp out there. I was told to try the PIAA's or the Hella's.

i got the Siverstars and despite what everyone says they seem to be brighter. at least the beam is wider and whiter. not sure about distance.

Same here. Rather those vs. minority rigging hid in a halogen housing

It seems there is a shortage of H13 bulbs around here. There other week I went to 5 auto parts stores and there were none of any kind. Since I am heading up north this weeekend I will check up there.

how about a total headlight swap. like RECON's projector headlights. legal, look cool and a brighter-more directed beam of light.
