New HID's in the Avalanche

[racrguy]

The confusion is always between state law, and DOT regulations. DOT states HID has to have a certain number of requirements for the housing, such as squirters, automatic angle compensation, and refracting lenses, etc. Most of the time that never gets picked up by any inspector. I doubt state law has any housing requirements (do they?), most people are just reciting federal DOT requirements.

Right, but I don't think they have to have automatic angle compensation or squirters. Do the new mustangs that have HID's as an option?

I was just going back and forth with him because he came in here all wrong, and when pressed for info didn't have any.

I have read the DOT regulations about 5 years ago and those were listed. They may have changed since then, I do remember all HID vehicles having squirters are first, but I don't think I've seen them lately so that may have been done away with.

6.0 swap? Lol. Or throw in an LS3 in that bad boy.

It runs good for the 5.3 that it has

I thought that I had read previously that 6k was the brightest "white" lights. That's why I got them I would have gotten something else if I'd had known they weren't the brightest

Around 4300k is bright white. North of that starts taking on a bluish tint until it turns into purple around 12k.

[petyweestraw]

Why the squirters ?

[Sleeper]

4300k would be yellow as hell compared to the 6000-6500k.

[racrguy]

Why the squirters ?

To keep the lenses clean so the bugs/dirt don't scatter the light into others' eyes.

Not that I'm aware of. And I'm too tired to make a squirter joke.

Way to not answer the questions. Shall I restate them for you? It's the same thing with tint. 25% to pass, 35 to avoid a ticket, for the driver.

Thats wrong information, It used to be 20% will pass inspection, below 25% will get you a ticket. Now its anything below 25% will not pass inspection and can get you a ticket.

Just curious, But how much does it cost to do HIDs in a 95 Mustang? Im going to order some new Headlights Housing also
