Yup, that's just about right.

At the end of the day 99% of leo couldn't care less what you have in your headlights as long as you're not glaring everywhere and aren't sporting colored beams. Most cops I know, like most other people, don't even know what a retro is.

But if your lights aren't right, even if you have completely stock halogens but misaligned, you will sooner or later get shit for it ... and rightfully so. It's a headlight, not a gobo.

Oh and here's something for you obs guys that can be achieved for $250 or so with a little effort: http://www.hidplanet.com/forums/showthread.php?44285-1998-GMC-K2500-quot-HID-retro-on-the-cheap-quot

He's just getting started but looks to me like it might be a thread worth following.

My high horse is now tired ... peace! :)
Interesting. Depending on how it ends up I might try to do it on ky lights but I doubt it since I'm lazy lol

I just reread the post about me bein a dick and tryin to get in an altercation with LEO. I'm a little offended but guess I had it coming. I wasn't bashing all LEO, just venting about this perticular one, when he knocked on my window with his flashlight I thought that was gonna have to get replaced he hit it that hard. 2nd note is he was very overbearing. A simple hey good mornin your lights need changed would have done. I have no intent on bein rude or a dick to a person with a badge for many reasons.

I didn't mean to come off as a stupid punk kid. I don't like to look for trouble or tangle with Johnny law any more than your average guy.

when i first put mine in i adjusted them and got flashed like crazy. I moved them down and to the right and never get flashed. it works perfect because if an elk comes from my left i have more time to react then if it came from the right...

I have pnp HIDs in my lows highs and fogs and have my lows angled to the moon and I can see for miles and get flashed all the time and cops don't say anything.
And the only reason I have HIDs is cause they look cool.
