I looked at the nc laws and it said the headlights cant produce a color other than white. Since the 4300k hid kit is called "pure white", i would consider them legal. i also didnt see any "any changes to the headlight are illegal" related law, so they seem perfectly legal.

do you guys think that they would be legal?

anybody have pics of 4300k on their car (facing the car and output)?

i have ss ultras in right now, but i would like a little extra brightness and i would like extra lifespan.

[white03v6]

i will be going up to the dmv soon, i would just like to see some pics and hear some input from others to help me figure it out.

have you been inspected since getting them?

[Lefty]

Um they'll pass inspection...

[white03v6]

^ok cool

so ill wait for the ultras to die then get the 4300k kit

but id still like to see some pics of the 4300 head on and output if anyone has any.

I would go 6000k over 4300.

im not looking to get the blue appearance though, im happy with a pure white appearance and pure white output. and arent the 4300k hids brighter than the 6000k hids?

[Lefty]

No, I believe the 6k are brighter. 6k is the highest you can go *WITHOUT* getting a blue tint. I plan on getting 6k when I get HID's.

[white03v6]

i did some digging in other forums and found the 4300k are actually brighter, so im just going to stick with the 4300k.

[Lefty]

I'm not an HID expert. I just don't know "nothing" about them. (ha, that's confusing but hopefully you understand that )

Nope. 4300 are brighter than 6000.

Placing HIDs in any vehicle that did not come with them from the factory is illegal (this isn't a state law, it's federal). Also, DOT Standard 108 says you can not put HIDs in a housing designed for halogen bulbs. This means all the Mustangs on here with HIDs in reflector housings are illegal.

Also, on the vvme.com FAQ it states they aren't legal:

[white03v6]

i guess since its federal law nc didnt bother putting anything related to them on their dmv website then. o well i might do it anyway. ill decide that when the ss ultras burn out

[white03v6]

but has anyone been/ heard of someone who havent passed inspection. as far as i know from lefty up there, ill pass inspection, but he went on to say he isnt a hid expert.

must you confuse me lefty
jk lol

4300K is in fact brighter than 6000K. 4300K is the brightest light you can get and the most true white. 6000K is a nice color though, it's got a slight blue tint. 8000K is way too much blue and purple. I really doubt you'll have much trouble if you're going to get a 4300K kit. Just aim them properly so you don't blind people.
