No HID's are not illegal.The authorities don't have a way to measure the intensity of the light so,as a guide the more blueish the light appears the greater the the chance of them giving you a hard time about it becomes.Generally I think 6000k is a safe bet.

4300 is white, just white, no other descriptives needed like diamond. My wife's fielder came factory hid and it does not blind oncoming cars, there is no blue-ish colour. The fogs are regular bulbs and they look yellow compared to the hid. Light is for safety not style

none of the HiD's are illegal, its just that the discomfort for the on coming driver you have to have consideration for, park lights also have to be clear, any other color will get you a ticket.

*sigh* "diamond white" this and "snow white" that...just so you know, 4300K and sometimes 6000K are the colour temperatures chosen for factory installed HID systems that DO NOT blind oncoming traffic...be advised.
