Is it legal to install a HID headlight kit on my car in Illinois?
I just need to know if it is legal.
Is there a reason why?
it is illegal! because of the type of housing lamp your car has is meant for Halogen bulbs. (Im assuming is reflector type http://automobiles.honda.com/images/2008/cr-v/exterior-gallery/gal_lg16.jpg) this kind of housing reflects the light to the ground and it is specially engineered so that there is no glare to oncoming drivers. The light from a real hid bulb is scattered different in a reflector housing, because the housing was not meant for hid bulbs, and this will happen glare http://www.intellexual.net/hids/5.jpg you can see light on the rails on top where the black poster. This is what blinds people. With a housing(usually projectors because of a better light output but sometime you will see reflector headlamps with HID) for hid bulbs this will not happen instead you get this clean cut off line http://img138.imageshack.us/img138/4290/bbbbbml1.jpg no glare. So, in a nut shell yes Illegal because the halogen headlamp housing is not compatible with the H.I.D bulb. But Ive seen cars with hid and they seem not to have problems with the cops and or inspections(if it applies to your state)
(you can do a retrofit where you buy an HID approved projector and put it in your lights)
