yes it is. car was not equipped with HIDs by factory, therefore illegal. does not matter if the projector you are putting them in is from a vehicle which allowed HIDs.

It may be illegal but its better to run HIDs in a projector housing than a non projector housing.
Palsut the spyder projectors use H1 bulbs for the projector and 9005 for the high beams. I have a 9007 bi-xenon harness on mine that allows the ballasts to get power from the battery. I am also using a 35W 5000K kit that looks OEM in the projectors. DDM tuning has HIDs for cheap

Get LED black projector.. umm I mean spyder projector

Is that all? Do I miss some?
As you know this aftermarket HID is very illegal. I will print this thread and show that cop that you all guys make me doing that so I should off hook and put stock light back.  patrick, it may be illegal, but the police are not going to pull you over for having HId's in your projectors. they are not going to make you take them off and put your stock lights back in.

They'll just write you a ticket and be done with you but that's only if you get a ridiculous color or have glare shooting at oncoming traffic.

100% agree, I don't think installing HIDs into projectors should be illegal since you can control the light output. But it is what it is.

Is that worth it? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1997-1998...Q5fA ccessories I found this video for how to install projector. It is usually helpful me. Seem easy. It seems this guy skip halo wire hook up. Guess halo is not important? lol http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RIzlEwEQRXg

that set would be fine palsut. for the halos, you just need to splice them in to whatever wire you want. most people use the corner markers, you could also use fogs or turn signals. you can also leave them disconnected. they're not bright enough to bother with IMO.

I have noticed some of people mentioned about halo is not very bright too. I probably won't bother with it. I only need headlight. Halo doesn't do anything.

That ebay link with projectors and HID kit is only $6 more than what I paid for my projectors and HID separate. Good deal

I should buy this link tomorrow before I'm leaving for vacation on Friday. I'm sure it will come Tuesday or so. They are from California so I knew it will take a while to ship. Projector should piece the cake but still scared of HID

Got package last night. I guess I got everything or did I miss some? Hid stuffs out from box  After connect the wire together. I'm confused where they are supposed go to?  I'm pretty sure I will work on Saturday so I will probably install them on Sunday since this car is 30 miles away from me. Maybe I will give a projector a shot without HID if I like it or not.
