Legality of HID conversion kits?
I've spent the last 2 hours scanning over countless forums and websites trying to find reliable information regarding the legality of HID conversions. On one hand I find that HID lights are only legal for street use if they were installed in the vehicle at the factory. I've also found information stating that they are legal as long as you don't exceed the Kelvin color rating limit in your state (this one sounds the least believable to me). Lastly another source stated that HID conversions are legal as long as you are using the bulbs in an HID lens/reflector housing and not in a standard halogen reflector. Does anyone know the truth about the legality of installing an HID conversion kit?!
The particular vehicle in question for HID conversion is my 1998 Jeep Wrangler Sport. The stock halogens are horrifyingly dim even when compared with a fake 55watt blue tinted "Xenon" bulb.
I'm also in Kansas if the laws are at state level instead of federal.
The HID kit and subsequent headlamps (you WILL need to replace the lamp housings) must be DOT approved to be legal. It has nothing to do specifically with factory installations, or Kelvin rating, the kit and lamp housing must be DOT approved.
Now, here's where the "legal only from the factory" thing comes in: I don't think there's a single HID kit or projector housing out there that's DOT approved.
