There was a lot of controversy over my HID headlight install video. The reason being is that I installed the HID kit into a regular halogen housing. The opponents to this wanted me to install the kit into projector beam housings. While this is a good idea and required by law in some places, the added expense priced me out of that market. I can say however that I have not had anyone flash me or complain that my lights were blinding them. I think the key is to make sure that you properly aim the lights before you set out on the road. That said, I'm back installing HID's into my new fog lights for my Honda Element. There is less chance of blinding anyone with these lights as the premise for auxiliary lighting is to mount it as low as possible. The reason for this is to make it easier to see in inclement weather.
You can use this video series as just a straight up install instructional for the fog light kit available from Motor Fiend. You can also use it to modify the kit to accommodate the HID bulbs. Since shooting this video 3 months ago I have not had any issues with blinding other drivers or issues with the kit other than some moisture that shows up in the housings from time to time. That's probably due to the seal at the back of the housing. If I were to do this again I might make the hole in the back of the housing larger to accommodate just installing replacement bulbs without having to solder them in. Otherwise, it's a great kit and I really enjoy using it. Just be sure to check your local laws regarding the installation and use of auxiliary lighting, as well as HID lighting before you commit to a project like this.

Challenges Faced 🤔
Obtaining a large sample of videos was crucial for accurate ranking, but YouTube lacks a direct method to gather random video IDs.
Even searching for random strings on YouTube doesn't yield truly random results, complicating the process further. 🔍
