Don't bother with autopals. I did the Putco harness, autopals, and hella 55/100. Here is low beam and and high beam.

Why are you in here?

But..

The noncompliant kits frequently include an HID bulb, ballast, igniter, relay and wiring harness adapters. NHTSA believes this equipment
presents a safety risk to the public since the kits can be expected to produce excessive glare to oncoming motorists
This document is vague and unresearched. It doesnt acknowledge anything about using a properly designed projector in combination with the the listed components. A projector eliminates the "excessive glare to oncoming motorists". Throwing the components they list into a standard housing as they state, would indeed cause excessive glare. So technically they may be illegal, but there are loopholes in many state laws regarding headlights. Most of the state dot laws focus on color, aim, etc.

NHTSA has concluded that it is impossible to produce HID conversion kits (converting a halogen system to HID) that would be compliant with the federal lighting standard, Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 108. The noncompliant kits frequently include an HID bulb, ballast, igniter, relay and wiring harness adapters

This kit comes with a projector so its not part of the non compliant list. This kit is no more a safety hazard than any OEM HID setup.

Like I Said before I don't care what you used or install on your vehicles.I used AUTOPALS myself.
My Question was about the discussion itself, as to why somebody ask a question about removing the Cat and was told by the moderator that it was illegal to even ask that question, but is OK to sell an illegal product.If you want to buy it go ahead.

NHTA Standard.
And the OEM hids come with a self leveling system to comply with federal standards.

Its because the cat thing is in the rules you agreed to before becoming a member and HIDs are not. They can set any rules they want. If you don't like it no one is making you stay here.

Shipping out a few orders within the next couple days. I wait a day between painting, assembly (JB welding) , and sealing. Getting an assembly line process down pretty well now though. We have 16 kits ordered already! Starting to think my price might be too low. lol Dont worry, Ill at least keep this pricing until after christmas.
