yea, i understand your pain. Sometimes on the highway a mercedes or BMW will get behind me, and the lights will bounce off my mirrors and just blind me. So then i tap on the breaks to make him go around me ... LOL

HID's are legal. If luxury cars have them, then every other car is allowed to have them.

Obviously the ones in place on BMWs and Mercedes are legal, but some aftermarket ones may not be. I know that that CATZ aftermarket HID kits say for off road use only.

Here's a link, look at the last bullet in the first section:

aznsmtboy is on a distinguished road
if your car is not already equipped with the hid then putting it on is illegal...however if you get a hid kit that is dot approved, then you may be able to get away from that but other then that it is illegal to put it on if it doesn't come stock that way
