Default those units are high quality, they shouldn't screw anything up

They don't provide a good beam pattern though because the reflectors are all wrong. Also, without the self levellers, you will be putting bright lights in everyone else's eyes.

Get a set of PIAA superwhites. They will work better than HID conversions.

Default I don't know about the design but look at this about the laws if needed....

Don't know if the legal issues are old hat or not.

This is an interesting thread :
