Not another HID post
Hey all, I know this has been talked about a LOT-- and I did do a search (multiple ones).. but haven't been able to get a straight answer.
I'm looking to get an HID kit and have just one question...
Is it okay to use the factory housing? Some say yes, some say no. Personally I like the factory housing...
Any input would be much appreciated!

1- technically its illegal in all 50 states...the kits are not dot approved for on road use...hence you'll see 'off road use only' on then...
2- the glare in factory housings will blind oncoming traffic whether on high or low beams...
Retrofit projectors and it will have a nice cutoff line and no issues with legality or blinding traffic
