Default Question about Angel Eye Projection headlights

I just purchased a Civic that has Angel Eye one piece style headlights. I'm not really clear are these illegal in Virginia? Don't some BMW's come standard with them?

There's a biig difference between quality OEM DOT-approved headlights and shitty aftermarket "for offroad use only" headlights.

I say ditch them. They're gay as fuck and are more than likely going to break on you.

I always suggest against any aftermarket headlights that don't explicitly say they are DOT or ECODE approved.

Ones that aren't approved almost always are of poor quality, poor lighting pattern, or both.

Remember, at night, the only thing keeping you and your car from driving into a telephone pole are your headlights: don't trust low-buck headlights to keep your car in one piece.

Better lighting when they can be turned on all at once.

I have a set of Angel Eye HID's in my car that have been there for over 20,000 miles, and I have yet to see a problem with them. The lighting is excellent and quality is good. I would get em again.
