LED or HID in a housing made for halogen lights are illegal in all states, and enforcement is sporadic. If you want to put these kind of lights on your truck and stay legal then you would need to spend the coin and buy housing made for these types of bulbs(i.e. projectors) that do not scatter the beam.
The only thing illegal is not having them aimed properly. LED's or HID's are not illegal unless they are improperly installed. And with that it's not illegal p, just a poor install. As I said and some others. You have to get the proper Bulb for the housing and install it properly. If done this way, no one will ever know what you have in the housing.
This is false. A halogen housing scatters the beam differently than an HID or LED housing. You will never get it to aim properly without this scatter hence the reason why it is illegal per federal standards.
Like I said. You have to get the proper bulb. I don’t believe there is a proper HID kit for a halogen housing (I should’ve stayed that). But there are proper LED bulbs for halogen and projector housings! The difference is the way the LEDs are positioned on the bulb housing.
I have never seen one of these kits that are legal in a halogen housing. Can you please link one.
