New headlights installed... they look pretty good.. thoughts?

I got these off of ebay, they took forever to arrive, but i finally got them. they look good... overall i am happy... i wish they were alittle more a blueish tint to them instead of the blue/green tint... but what ever. they are super whites XE, simulated 7000k HID bulbs.


Compare this pics with the one in my signature...


here are the pics:

As long as his turn signal is not red he is okay. Most states the law is amber or white turn signal in the front and amber or red in the rear for turn signals

Its definatly illegal to have any red lights on the front of your car.. there's no doubt in my mind.

as well as blue. Red and blue are specific law enforcement colors and are illegal for citizen vehicals to have ANYWHERE (front, back, sides, nowhere). I was told this by an officer in Alabama after being pulled over for having blue corner lights on my CRX. I also have a friend who got pulled over for purple and green lights in Atlanta, GA. How the OP has never been pulled over with red corner and bumper lights absolutely stumps me.

In indiana blue is ok to have in front of your car only for signaling and emergency use. I know this because I recieved a ticket, fought it, and won. The conbination of red and white, red and blue, and red only is illegal. Nick

"Simulated HID bulbs"?

*cough*ripoff*cough*

And what color lights are allowed on your vehicle depends on where you live. So all the "My local police told me...." suggestions may or may not carry over to your city/state.

Why is it a rip off? do you think they are going to blow on me? *sigh* i hope they don't. well, I didn't pay that much for them, so if the blow then i will not be too down... i still have my factorys, so just in case.

Yeah, it stinks... my car was in a very minor front end accident, and the fog light was pushed in and it bent the braces for the fog light which determine the angle of the light. i spent 20mins + trying to bend it back, but it was hard, and i didn't have anything else to go by. (pictures of how it is suposed to look.) i may take it somewhere and them fix it... i hope it will not cost much.

amixam98 - stock wattage... clearly printed on the box. i made sure!

clee130 - yeah, i know you can't simulate HID looks, but the bulbs actually look very good... much better then stock... the only thing that kills it are my fogs... they make the beam all yellow.

MaxedOutOfCash What kind of PIAA's? (I.E. - Extreme white, Super white) and how much? do you have fogs too? thanks.

No red or blue light is allowed ANYWHERE on the outside of the car, except rear. Now someone just needs to call the cops in his city and give his plate number, someone mean of course. Also you don't have new headlights just new bulbs...
