ive run hids in my halogen bowls for almost a year with no problems. one night i got pulled over going from chicago to milwaukee by the WI state patrol (lovely bunch of folk they are). i was doing the speed limit when i passed by him as he was parked by the side of the road so i really had no idea why he pulled me over at the time. long story short he pulled me over for "amplified exhaust." I truly think he was more bored than anything because we started talkin and jokin about the cubs and the tornados that had passed thru chicago earlier that night. anyways, before we started bs'in he proceded to check over my entire car, askin me to pump the brakes, turn on my signals, and then he wanted me to turn on my headlights. after he looked at them for a minute he came back to the passengers side and proceded to ask me about my various in car gizmos like my guages and my neo and auto xray. point is, most cops cant really tell the difference so much or have the tools to even try and check ur headlights. unless they truly know what they are lookin for, they wont be able to prove you are running hids.

*i understand im an asshole for runnin hids, hence why i aimed the bowls downward some and have the lids goin a bit steeper thru the lens. i try to cut down the glare for everyone. i think it works as i dont get flashed anymore.*

oh yeh, he let me off with a warning. he was the coolest state trooper i have ever run into. and i have had my fair share of dealings with them.
