Has anyone come up with a legal HID headlight for the Insight? NH may be the "Live Free or Die State," but it's pretty restrictive on safety inspections. Legally they require DOT-approved headlights, but I don't know how strictly this is enforced by inspection stations.
H4 or other retrofits using the existing reflector are not street legal, so the only (hypothetical, of course) possibilities I see are:
1) Add auxiliary lights. This would help with lighting, but it would take more power instead of less, kind of defeating one advantage of HID lighting.
2) Leave the stock wiring in place and swap it back in before an inspection. Probably not recommended.
3) Somehow mount an OEM headlight from another car in place of the Insight headlights. I have no idea how this would work or if it would be legal.
Any thoughts?
