hella 90mm headlights?

That really depends on the light fixture that you perform the HID conversion on. On non HID projector foglamps/headlamps/driving lights yes that is very accurate statement. As far as open bulb fixtures I believe it depends on where the beam is angled.

I'm very curious how you guys are passing inspection with non DOT headlights? Is one reason because our cars are pre 96(I know they use diff inspection on pre 96 due to smog testing). I believe a certain 80's year also gets a less stringent form of state inspection. In most cases, also up the inspection station AFAIK.

They just don't look at the actual headlight. The Hella E-codes look like stock headlights and not the "diamond cut" ebay garbage they generally look for.

Are the hella lights already DOT? I'm going to browse their website and verify. If that's the case then shouldn't it not matter where you install them?

DOT approval is etched on the 90mm lamps.

Is what for real?

I mentioned this before.

If you have a Hx/900x based lighting and then install the shit HID.

ILLEGAL.

If the lighting system uses a NATIVE DSxR/DSxS bulb, then it is legal. By native I mean DSxr/DSxs MOUNT, wiring etc. Not the duct taped DS2 bullshit on the Hx/900x base.
