I have found out that it is in fact illegal to have HID lights with "fluted" headlight housings without projectors installed.

I don't have them, I did a lot of research.

At first, I hated them on my brother's truck. But he also had stock fluted housings without projectors and they would shine in odd places and were often dangerous to drive with.

I just couldn't see where I needed to.

So! If you're going to use HIDs in the Cosmo, please, retrofit some projectors so you don't blind people!

I have lately been reconsidering the HID light dilemma. There are days when I decide to install a set on the Cosmo, then there are days when I don't. In order for it to be a "modern" car it must have self leveling HID lights (probably with an LED halo). But I don't care for them. The other flip of the coin is that the front end is so prominent on the Cosmo that HIDs may be a nice style addition.

Believe me, if HIDs were installed on the Cosmo it would be done properly. However HIDs won't be installed on the Cosmo because I hate them. Even OEM HIDs I find to be completely blinding when oncoming. Retrofits are even worse because they are often poorly installed, not aimed and in crappy housings. Unless I can find a reasonably priced auto levelling HID kit that fits into the stock round openings (sponsors anyone? Anyone?).
