yellow 3000k hids in the low beam
european projectors angel eyes, h1 bulbs in low and high beams
fogs are oem us spec non ellipsiod free forms with "yellow ion"
bulbs and yellow laminx covering the lenses.

the pic in my sig is before the low beams were HIDs

unfort, the officer said that your low beams have to be white...
not blue not yellow not pink =\

sooo the 3000k bulbs are going into my fogs and im buying some
5000k low beam bulbs. =]

interesting interpretation by the officer, what would happen it he tried to ticket a new euro with the xenon 'blue' globes OEM that the owner just handed over another couple of $k for....

yah im not sure bc a lot of the newest 05 and 06 models have CLEARLY blue lights...

i did go to the local library and looked up the code and it said that the light had to have a white output...

oh well

So does that mean the lights as shown in your sig are legal? Those are the ones I'm interested in.

Bump.

Bahnstormer, are the headlights in your sig legal? What are they and where'd you get 'em?

Cheers.

my sig picture has depo euro ellipsoids with just the angel eyes turned on
those are legal as far as i know...
they are awesome beacause they are projectors and the light cutoff point
is so sharp

the fogs can be yellow so ya those that u see are there

these low beams are the ones the officer didn't like

Sorry, man, I'm still a bit confused :(

I take it the 'angel eye' is the illuminated rim. How would you turn on just that part? And does that qualify as a low beam, or just a DRL? Is the low beam out of that bulb legal?

And what about the high beam?

These lights are totally new to me, so please explain the whole story.

Put another way, what do I buy to make my lights look like yours without breaking the law, and how would they operate once installed?

Thanks a lot. I appreciate it.
