Will Demon Eyes affect light temperature output? (also the legality)
 
I'm installing 6000K HIDs. I really like them, but I don't want my lights to project red.

Also what might the legal aspects of this be?

I just found out that they are actually separate lights within the housing so they could be switched on/off if needed.

Ive ben told you cant have red or blue running lights that mimic cops. My friends nismo 370 was pulled over for having blue leds in the headlights. Cop said they could be purple, but not red or blue.

most demon eyes are actually painted projector shields and not from LED lighthing. The natural/external light reflecting off the shield inside of the lens causes the colour to reflect out. This way you get the sweet effect during day time but do not run the risk of getting a ticket for red/blue lights in your car

so imagine this, the paint is on the side of the shield facing the projector lens, the light source is on the other (unpainted side) so when the light source shines, it hits the shield and comes around it - very little/no colour gets caught in the light and projected outwards. it is like a 1 way reflection.


(colour /shield\ > Light source

Doesn't matter if they're projecting red or not, if they look red from the front they'll be illegal.

Thats why mine are LED and not painted. Can be turned off when the Po Po is lookin

Its just a led mounted to shine into the housing

Not legal to have on while car is in motion more of a show piece.
