MP5 Hungry for headlights?

While the DOT is against swapping to HID's, there is no way they will revoke your car/license or anything of the sort. I also don't believe that they could fail you during your yearly inspection and etc.

if you're worried about it, it'd prob be a "fix it" ticket and just swap back to halogens to prove you fixed it and carry on, also swap to halogens during inspection if you must

Not particularly worried about being stopped or inspections & the like (although there is on local sheriffs deputy that likes to stop people for burned out headlights and give them a hard time). With 4500K lamps and proper aiming, I doubt anyone would be able to tell the difference.

More concerned about the night vision/reliability issues. I'll just see how these new bulbs work out

$600-$1000 for a proper set of projectors is way outside my budget.

that's for TL's

Yu can get Mercedes E55 projectors for $80 for a pair, then you can do the aftermarket HID kit for fairly cheap, so you'd just need a spare set of headlights to retro

I wanted the TL's since they are the best bixenon projector out, as well as OEM bulbs, as well as e55 shrouds, new headlight housings, and fiberglass work done as well
