Yes! Mr.impuabove, you have been around here, for quite some time! I thought you should have been able to figure that on your own!

I reckon there's a good chance the HIDs won't dim - they usually tolerate dips to 9V or less - ie - supply variation from 9V to 16V.
Their bulbs aren't connected/powered direct to +12V as halogen and other lights are/were.

imupabove, you have 25 private messages, that is all you can have. You need to delete some of the old ones.

Tell those arrogant (or ignorant) PMers that they can't expect a private audience with Her/Him up above.
(As your replay proves.)

That's one reason it should be illegal. (Others may include self-levelers etc.) It's the only reason I'd need NOT to fit them. Nor blue lights, etc.

If your lenses are not clear then they won't turn out good. You need to retrofit projectors in your headlamps in order for the HID's to work properly and NOT blind other drivers if you just stick HID bulbs into your stock sockets they will definatly be ilegal and you run the chance of causing an accident. There is alot of information on Hid Planet. A good set of projectors and bulbs will run a few hundred dollars but is worth the investment to do the job properly.
