Will these fit and will they be legal?

All HID kits for the stock headlights are illegal as the beam pattern on the lens isn't setup for HID..

 

Edit - Scott corrected me, seems for the Supra the beam patterns are just in for the lens design. May not be the case for all cars

I checked it on the wall patern at my mates garage, they come in within spec..... fortunately :D

 

Really? I sit corrected then chap :)

 

I admit it was a generalisation of pre-HID era cars retro fitting HIDs.

 

One less thing to worry about at a MOT then :)

No, no.. you are correct in your thinking. They weren't designed for HID's so they shouldn't work and the pattern should dazzle above the designated lines. I have them in glass UK's and they came up fine though.

 

I don't think many people have had issues with them in Supras? Heard a bit of hassle with some other 90's cars though. MR2's are meant to be a nightmare.

 

Must be the projection lenses of the Supra maybe?

They won't match, the 10k's only seem that blue when you take a piccy of them, or if they are being filmed. In the flesh, they seem very very white.

 

Go with something like this for your side lights.
