The only difference would be the intensity/color of the light, right? Well, it is true that my 55w HIDs are much brighter than the stock halogen bulbs, but does that automatically mean that they are non-compliant with DOT specs? Many factory HIDs out there are very bright as well and are DOT compliant. I strongly disagree with your zero chance claim. Small chance, yes, but not zero. I'm not sure if my lights are DOT-spec compliant (obviously ignoring the fact that one spec is surely that they have been verified by DOT) but I would be very interested to find out if they do meet the criteria.
I'm not really interested in an instrumented test of my lights with expensive equipment that I don't have, so in this case it seems that a comparison with the BRZ and S2000 would be a sufficient replacement test. I expected you to ignore my challenge and I am amazed that you are still arguing even though I asked you to help me plan out a way to fairly compare the three set of lights. That only further proves to me that you just want to argue for the sake of argument.
Why? Again, we haven't proved that my lights are good or bad yet and you are already saying that I can't even CLAIM that I am not blinding oncoming traffic without having to spend thousands of dollars? You are kidding, right?
Damn, did I fall for this again!?!

What kind of car did you say you drove? Hmmm... you ignored that, too. |
You do realize the light emitted from an arc of an HID capsule and from the filament of a halogen bulb are completely different, right? It's funny reading through your posts, you're basically just spewing out the pseudo "tech info" that cheap ricer kit sites post to make you feel better about wasting your money on a kit. You're clearly ignoring the entire physical aspect of why HID kits don't work in halogen headlights in the first place. Your cutoff looks like garbage and it's giving off a pretty unsafe amount of glare. You can't argue that at all.
