PIAA Headlights LEGAL?
Are the PIAA Xtreme Headlights legal in South Carolina? Just curious cuz i've already had a ticket from 1 set of headlights (non PIAA).

Green headlights? You were asking to get pulled over.

It should be legal but I would double check w/ your local law. I know PIAA Star Whites are 50 state legal

they say the 9000s are, but that doesn't mean you won't get pulled over for them.

Are these legal?
PIAA 9000 Series Bulbs are DOT/SAE compliant and are street legal in all 50 states and Canada.

White emitting light bulbs should be ok. I've never heard of anyone getting pulled over for having bulbs that emit white light. I've heard more about people getting pulled over for their HID kit.

Just get them. As long as your halogen headlights doesn't emit blue, green (cough), purple light, you should be ok.
