Noob Question: Xenon Headlights
I used the search feature and couldn't find this topic, might have been posted before. I'm thinking about replacing my stock headlights with Xenon headlights. However, I do know that cheap Xenon knock-offs sometimes give off blue-ish tint and eventhough I think they look AWESOME, they are alas, illegal. I read on google somewhere that the legal limit, at least in CA where I live, is 5200K color temp. Blue is around 8000K so they are illegal.
So:
1. Are Blue Xenon Lights really illegal in CA?
2. What is a good Xenon headlight brand, preferably not over $100, ones that won't burn out and still give off good amount of light?
Thank you for your response

Hrmm dont think cops are really that strict on lights. They have other parts they would rather ticket you for. I have 8000k and 3000k jdm yellow both HID. I must say it is BRIGHT like REALLY BRIGHT. Especially if i change my lights to 6000k.. then it would be too bright.
