Thats fine,
My dad was a carpenter for 37 years but I gotta tell you, I can't build anything out of wood worth a crap.

I probably wouldnt either. But i am very interested in criminal justice and have done many many ride alongs. So i know a decent amount. Im no judge though.

depends on the state you're in, and usually there is a decibel limit, not just "any louder."

I have a lot of respect for that. I've wanted to learn more about it but can't really get focused enough to do so.

In florida its any louder than factory u can get a citation. But noone follows it unless its stupid loud.

for example, Michigan says 90 DB at over 35MPH, 86 under 35MPH.

What If I had a hearing aid it could damage my hearing even more lol, besides its still illegal. A lot of things are illegal that dont hurt others but does that give you the right to break the law??

Everyone needs to see in order to drive. You take a vision test at the DMV to get and keep a license. There are no regulations about hearing that I know of. I don't quite understand the relevance to a topic on HIDs.
The blinding effect given from a PnP HID kit does drastically affect your eyes compared to standard halogen or projector headlights. :blankface:
Weather or not you choose to care about the other drivers vision who are hurling a 3000 lb metal sled within feet from you is you own personal choice.

I was just being ridiculous, just like its ridiculous to try to scold people on a forum and tell them that HID kits are illegal, when half of the people that post regularly on this forum have done exhaust work to their cars that is illegal.

Has anyone actually ever crashed and killed anyone? I mean if it truely is dangerous there has to be a lot of fatal accidents associated with people using the HID kits right?

no clue, they can't tell us if the HIDs blinded them.
opcorn:we aren't alone in our opinion.
