Thank you for replying, I hope someone knows....
The legality of the part is a federal isssue.
If the headlights aren't DOT-certified, they aren't legal.
Back when clear corner lamps were the rage for the 94-01 Integra, one manufacturer was shut down because they did not include the side reflector assembly. When the DOT discovered this, they filed an injunction against the distributor.
And again, the lens is coated with a colored tint which will reduce the amount of light you have to work with. Also, I'd bet money that your state vehicle code explicitly states that headlights must be white or near white in color.
If you want the look of HIDs, retrofit a set S2K or TSX projectors and use real HID lamps.
These tinted headlights are Tinkertoy shit; you will fool no one.
