Custom HID headlights?

[frozen]

Im just thinking of like a legal way of having HID lights - as if they were factory... I really like the look of the 'ball' looking thing in the HID lights ive seen - and im wondering if any headlights that have factory HID look anything like the galant ones, in hope that they could be gutted and transplanted into galant lights to look factory, and allow it to work legally... and look really cool at the same time

Obviously none of us have an unlimited budget and i know anything is possible if you got lots to spend, but just wondering if anyone has any thoughts on this


edit - i just found pretty much waht i was looking at - the JDM CIBIE ones are good looking - and this guy also done a bonnet etc. looks nice. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/753737

From what I know about vehicle licensing in Australia, unless HID's were a factory option for a particular model of car the only way you would be legally allowed to have them is if you get engineering approval for them. Not impossible, but can be costly.

by engineering approval do you mean like a mod plate or something? i know a mechanic personally who does those if so...

but then again with that pricing id rather spend 2 grand under the hood.. so nvm

Yea dude, toys like that are for those with money to burn... Competition car audio anyone?

Just keep an eye out on Yahoo Auctions for galant/legnum specific projector lights, I saw some get sold about a week ago. They don't come up very often, and they aren't the cheapest, but they are going to be easier than your idea.

dont laugh but my last car had about 6-8 grands worth of alpine sound equipment guess which car im putting it into next? (its sitting in my room, just waiting till i can afford another 0guage wiring kit w/ RCAs and fuse etc...)

Dude just use welding cable - same stuff a tenth the price...

its not the cable that costs the most, its the RCAs i prefer to use $80+ per cable.....
