we did the same thing when i got my after-market headlights (not HIDs). blinding other drivers is not cool in my books.
i have toyed with getting HIDs for my truck, but they don't make proper projector headlight housings for it (an 89), so i'd have to retrofit projectors into my existing lights, which i don't really feel like doing right now.
as others have mentioned, they are illegal if they didn't come stock with your vehicle, but most cops i know say they've got more important things to worry about than pulling someone over for improper headlights. usually they'd only ticket the driver if he's been pulled over for something else and the guy is being a goof to them.

I have stock HIDs in my car and I've always wondered how someone could even make them work properly in a jacked truck. In order to keep them under eye height of a car you'd have to have them angled into the ground which pretty much renders them useless. Almost need to swap the headlights into your fog light location to use HIDs.
