Having hids in a projector housing isn't illegal because its in the housing its meant to be in. The light is focused and cut off as opposed to being scattered all over causing unsafe driving conditions for oncoming traffic. The only way they would be blinding oncoming traffic is if they didn't aim them correctly.

I'm not saying your wrong but I'm pretty sure the law is that is illegal to add aftermarket hids to any vehicle that didn't not come with them from the factory. Oh and hids came from the factory in a reflector housing on my lexus so projectors aren't the only thing hids were meant for btw.

Some older Lexus and Acura vehicles came with reflector HID from the factory. These reflector buckets are designed/curved to properly and safely project light from the orb of an HID capsule while the reflectors from the F150 are designed for the thin halogen filament. Fitting the halogen reflector with the HID orb creates refraction of light (glare). The F150 is especially bad since aftermarket HID bulbs do not hit the focal point of the reflector which creates a ton of glare.
