they're like radar detectors. In some states they're illegal, but you can still buy them. It is however illegal to install them. There's a sticker that comes from the factory stating that the vehicle may be equipt with HIDs so you can get away with it. I have yet to be stopped for my lights

Not true. Most people with aftermarket HIDs do not adjust the headlights accordingly and they usually get the 6000K-12,000K HIDs. Most vehicles that come with HIDs come with 5500K or below. Also there are cars out there that do not have projectors with HIDs. So yeah, you can expect "ricers"...

Happens in the matrix too, but only a few drops here and there. If you take the glass off you can see that if any water gets in it gets directed into a drain so it's fine. The designers took into account that it might leak
