    on the magnas i would only fit a H4 HID globe as the high beam globes are not cowled
    the high beams can be fitted with crystal vision globes for a more whiter 4600K appearance (as opposed to 6000K HID)
    as for the park lights you need Xenon Blue globes of a 6000K temperature or it just ruins the whole effect

    i have had HID's in my TJ for 8 months now and have not had any road rage incidents, flashers, or run ins with the blue line

    one thing of note is that the parabolic headlights are a joke next to the standard headlight so unless you want looks over function dont bother with them. also i wouldnt fit HID to the parabolics as this does create too much glare

    Are these HID kits legal to fit to any Magna?

    If it's a proper retro fit using projector lenses, self levelling device, headlamp washers and then getting an engineering certificate for the whole lot then yes, it can be legal.
    The fitting of HID bulbs to the Hella or Stanley parabolic headlamps is NOT legal.

    That said, done properly as you quoted by using 4300-6000K bulbs and aiming them correctly you are unlikely to attract unwanted attention.
