That`s because they don`t exist. Mkz headlights are of a different design and do not work in the Fusion. If Ford develops a Fusion HID for the Titanium version next year, there`s a good chance it`s a good fit for our cars, but given that they`ll likely cost 1K each, they`d be worth it. Aftermarket LED replacement lamps are illegal, but there is little application at the federal level. “Currently, there are no replaceable LED headlights that meet federal safety standards. California. Headlights should be turned on when it`s raining, fog, snow, or even cloudy. If you need to use your windshield wipers, you need to turn on your headlights. Headlights should operate from 30 minutes after sunset to 30 minutes before sunrise. “In particular, the California Vehicle Code requires that headlights be clear and, in the case of turn signals, that they have a white or orange light.” “Any other color of the lighthouse is illegal in California. Sometimes people modify their vehicles with high-intensity lights, which are often blue and illegal. So many replacement lamps have a blue tint.
Ask yourself if these will be allowed. If law enforcement ever had a very big bug in their butt, they could really nail someone who has HID conversions installed. NHTSA has determined that such a thing does not exist and that any changes to a vehicle that changes its design features, such as headlights and taillights, is illegal. IOW, catch a police officer on a very bad day with dark taillights, and it can make your day miserable. You can spend hours reading all these regulations for cars, it will confuse you about what you can and cannot legally do with a car. What is even more astonishing is the number of police officers who get away with it, the police have better things to do. Neon car lights, also known as “under-splashing” lights, are neon lights or non-standard LED lights that attach to the underbody of a car, truck or motorcycle. Basically, sublights are legal as long as they remain covered and unlit on public roads and do not flash or contain the colors red or blue. Yes, the MKZ is equipped with dynamic LED projector headlights, each costing over $1,800! :d rop: I`ve seen a lot of cars with HID conversions with green, purple and dark blue lamps. I don`t know how on earth they can see at night. The luminous efficiency is low due to the colors.
Did you also know that lights over 5000K can hurt your eyes at night when they shine on you? Our eyes are very sensitive to blue, and more than 5000K they tend to the blue spectrum, which is why many HIDs produce more glare for oncoming traffic than standard halogens. Yes, they are all illegal. By installing the 8000k, you stand out even more and attract more attention from the wrong people. The federal DOT already prohibits the use of non-specific luminaires. This Ohio law only gives the local law the ability to punish those who use “show” lights on their cars that shouldn`t be on the road. This applies in particular to HID lamps. You can get them in a row of Kelvin from light blue to deep purple. Federal law requires the Kelvin to be in a certain area. I think somewhere around 4300k but I couldn`t find any documentation to confirm it.
I found other interesting information. The HID conversion kits were found to be incorrect and found that there is no HID conversion kit that can be sold legally. The Ohio State Highway Patrol has enacted a new state law allowing motorists to turn on their headlights when there is fog, rain, snow or when it`s dark outside. “In the weather conditions we have, I would like to remind everyone to turn on these headlights when driving in the rain, snow or severe weather conditions we have around the river,” Lt. Joe Fetty.La law has been in effect for several years, but Lt. Fetty said they have not yet arrested anyone for breaking the law. especially because of the dangers of overtaking someone in bad weather. Federal boundaries are higher orders of magnitude, to a different overall extent. Depending on the vehicle`s lighting system, headlights are limited to about 20,000 to 75,000 candelas according to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No.
108. Halogen lamps with a colour temperature above 4200K are not approved for road traffic. Indeed, the blue color of the lights can confuse other drivers who might think that the blue lights belong to an emergency service vehicle. However, XENON HID lamps that look bluer are still legal within certain limits. Even though Ohio doesn`t limit the colors you can use, which means blue and red are free games, it`s important to avoid these colors so as not to confuse them with an emergency vehicle.
