    Well, it's one of those things you won't get pulled over for... but a stickler cop may write you up for the additional violation if he's already got you for something else...

    Technically no aftermarket HID kit is street legal. If they didn't come stock, they aren't legal.
    Of course, the bluer the bulbs, the more obvious it is that they're aftermarket.

    Odds are, you'll never have a problem (I've run 6000K for seven years now without any issue at all) but if a cop knows his stuff, he would know that, unless you have the LED headlights, your only option is halogen... again, it's a stretch, but weirder things have happened.
