Here is the link to the installation I wrote up. I have had my kit installed for 2 years now and never been flashed by another driver. I spent multiple nights making sure my beams were adjusted. I used painters tape on a white garage door to measure the beam at eye level. Then pull my car back 20,30 40, feet. This took even longer to adjust the fogs on a steel bumper. Its was a pain. I used 3/4" circle earth magnets as spacers. They hold the factory fog in place an will not move without a fight.

I can see the argument of the old style headlight housing from 00-02. But the 03/04 have a more concentrated beam, and do not spread light randomly. I would not have done it if I had the older style. Both are illegal but there is a definite difference.

I thought the same thing. I submitted the info without my telephone number. I got a shipping notification early this morning for them. they are estimated to be delivered between 7/3-7/4. If they come, I'll make a post with pictures and results. If not, I gues I'll be filing a claim with my credit card.

 

Not sure how a CC company handles it when you file a claim for trying to purchase an illegal product, because not only is it illegal to install the kits, it's illegal to sell them as well.

 

not if they are sold under the pretense of being used as an off road only item

 

I doubt the credit card companies even care.
If you were buying cocaine or a meth sure, but do they really know that these kits are illegal?

 

If you bought them on eBay. Use eBay buyer protection first, its really easy and strong protection. They will just put the money back in your PayPal account if the item never ships. Use your credit card protection as your last resort.

 

This is one of the more ridiculous comments I've read on here in a while.

 

The problem with this analogy is that drugs are illegal always. HIDs are only illegal for use on public roads. Off road use is perfect legal.

 

The NHTSA doesn't recognize the classification, at least not for HID conversion kits.

Yeah, it's unlikely. But more and more people are getting annoyed and blinded by the kits (the reason why law enforcement is becoming more and more aware of them) so if you happened to get someone on the phone who knows they are illegal to sell...
