I think some color makes you more visable in the sea of headlights. Both daytime and nighttime.

Poser? I don't think so.

Per DDM, they should ship today or tomorrow.

She's not doing 130 mph at night or anything so it should be alright.

purple definitely stands out, always notice cars with em instantly

and yea they are bright fuckin purple lol-is her bike purple? purple rimstrips, leds? gotta coordinate

Technically any aftermarket HID lighting system is illegal... but the purple ones, like TIGGER said, definitely get you noticed more...



................... by cops.

Yeah... that's my point... all HID aftermarkets are illegal... just think that though they do get noticed a lot... it's gonna draw the cops attention... may not be enough to stop ya... but most certainly will be a "add on" if you do get pulled over...


plus... and this is JUST MY OPINION... it gives you that "johnny racer" look... so you'll be instantly more closely scrutinized.

And why are aftermarket HIDs illegal?

because they're not designed for the housing you're putting them in.
