Next up is HID reverse lamps.
Agree with mcrews,

If you look for the fine print on most HID conversion kits there is a statement that they may not be legal in your country.

Yes they do work as far as putting light out, but they are a safety hazard and blind other drivers on the road because of the glare from incorrect reflector housing, you can see them coming from miles away, blue glare.

In my opinion this is irresponsible.

Use them for driving lights, fog lamps and such, but unless you have a full HID headlight assembly, then keep them out of the headlights.
