OEM installs have a very complex alignment system which is very expensive to retrofit to non-HID vehicles.
You can't just expect to drop in a set of HID "lamps" and have them work as OEM applications.
This is why in Hawaii (at least in Honolulu), it's a big fine to retrofit your non-HID vehcile with some kind of HID lighting, period.

if the HID didnt come stock on the car its not legal what so ever even tho the headlights say DOT approved and the HID say DOT approved.
I got HID tho and i love them. I work at a dealership and my shop forman is a sheriff. I live in CA.
I'll have a post on my car soon. I'm almost done with mycustom headlights.

This was the beef the local authorities were bitching about that they didn't want to see retrofit kits made legal, so they made it across-the-board illegal.
