NHTSA doesnt care about whether your HID retro'ed car has projectors or not. If it came with HID's factory, the car is legit. If it didnt, it is not.

Projectors or housings dont come into it.

IMO, if the cops in Wheaton/Anytown IL were busting people for mods the word would be out before the operation even went down.Methinks the Integras you saw were busted racing. Had there been a tow truck with all 3 cars and an assload of police around, then your claim may have some credence.

Guys with projector conversions rip on people without them not because they care about blinding other motorists, but because they need to be superior to them because they spent more money. I have seen plenty of cars with HID swaps and have yet to be blinded. The stock low beams from trucks are worse.

The stock low beams from trucks also light up more road then say your car or mine with HIDs. :tear:

Because HID bulbs were designed to be slapped into halogen housings....projectors are a gimmick way for manufacturers to increase the price of the car to the consumer.

Please continue the ignorant excuses, lovin' the reverse hate for modding correctly, very entertaining. :)
