C300 Luxury
Luminics

I searched around the forum and found a lot of people using the Luminics lights so I want to swap mine out for them, I just had a question regarding the Luminics Pure Blue Kryptonite series H11s for my fogs (C300 Luxury)

http://www.amazon.com/Luminics-Pure-...3084254&sr=1-1

That's the link to them, can I use them in Florida legally?
Thanks,
Tony


Edit: http://wiki.answers.com/Q/In_Florida..._accent_lights I found that link, does that apply?

These colored bulbs are a waste of time and money IMO. They provide less light output at the cost of looking like HID lights, which, they do a poor job of.

And what do you think is the best option available? Aren't fitting HIDs into halogen projectors more dangerous?

Light output isn't really vital to me here, it's the fogs, I'm gonna get Luminics Kryptonite Titanium white for the headlights, that's plenty of light output to sacrifice for the colored ones. Really I just don't want to be pulled over for them >_____<

I had the Luminics whites in my car EVERY bulb failed. Lows, highs and fogs. I switched to Hellas and I am happy.

That's what I have in mind as well. Running Diamond Vision on my lows and thinking of doing it on my fogs as well. What's your thought for diamond vision on fogs?

halogen reflectors and projectors should use halogen bulbs. An untinted 55w halogen bulb will always produce more lumens than a tinted bulb.

I got your point now. I see you using HID high beams and fogs. No weird cutoffs since like you said halogen reflectors and projectors should be using halogen bulbs? I'm just curious =p

You should see how low they're pointed. The HID high beams on the other hand.........

LOL! My gosh you're such a funny guy. I'll just proceed with the Diamond Vision halogens. And for the next car, Bi-xenon option is a MUST!
