Does RD1 have projector? For some reason I thought it was parabolic. never looked at one up close.



Negative rep for me.

Got the HID's, installed, and very happy! Actually talked to my buddy whos dad is a cop and he said his dad doesnt even care. They never yell at people unless the low beams look like extra bright high beams. Good stuff everyone!

In Puerto Rico there's no law that says that HID are illegal but the cop will pull you over and give you a 50 dolor ticket for using the high beam!.

Juanra, did I hear that sometimes people will drive around down there with their headlights off to save wear on the bulbs, or was that one of the little bitty tiny caribbean islands?

Were i live HID, has become another Ricer signal. Atleast the Rice Blue, and Rice Purple, one of the number one things cops look for, it is like hey i have a lowered car, with noo muffler, and i got VTECH yo!



God i cant stand the honda guys here, there worse than the Subaru and Supra a**holes!

Yo Jaunra. I was just in the rico last summer! Its decent down there, most of the tuners I saw....well were straight up hard core ricers. I saw a nice red 97-99 tib down there one day and some other nice ones, then the next I saw a terrible modded tib :-/ Not to throw rico under the bus, but it was either a nice set of wheels(100k+) or burnt out poop balls($100-200).



I also agree HID's are becoming more ricer, as in my case, I am a tib ricer :-/. Just dont have money for under the hood. But I got the white HID's with low output to seperate myself!
