Upgrading the stock lights to higher output 50W projectors that didn't come stock is against Federal DOT regs. Just like removing the cats or muffler or say the DPF on a DPF equipped diesel truck. It falls under the Fed DOT emissions laws or something like that. At least that is what I have been told by a couple of troopers I have talked to about that type of thing. That being said, most LEO's I know would not pull you over for that, in this day and age, there are so many newer cars AND trucks that come stock with not only HID's but in some cases colored HIDs that it would take one heck of a vehicle expert to tell what truly came stock in the vehicle to begin with. Now if I was running around with the blue halo and red backlighting illuminated in mine from Dawson, I would be asking for trouble, but not because someone was blinded by them, heck, all I have is trucks and I get blinded regularly by other vehicles on the road.What I would recommend is take the truck back to the dealership that fixed the truck and have them put the headlight alignment "machine" to it and check and verify the proper alignment of the lights, then take that to court to fight it on principle.</blockquote>
