    Good video.

    My car is more than 10 years old and every 2 years I have to get it inspected.
    (regular inspection + smog)

    Inspection station does not have old foregien cars specs.. so I have no problem having aftermarket HID. lol

    My HID beam is adjusted low so that it does not blind on coming traffics.

          And they should and I'm glad they did! If I could write a citation for every single ahole that has a POS HID kit on their car, I would.

                    Ya, between adjusting down and having projectors you probly won't be blinding anybody. I always wondered how hid kits worked.

                              Yeah I know. I want to wait until it got dark to take a pic but i was to excited. But I thought you could really tell the diffrence even though it was day time. If u look the driverside looks like white highlighter while the pass. side u can barely tell it's on. I will try to take some better pics tonight.
