Sure DOT has a lot silly rules that do not add up, but I doubt any cop on the street is familiar with the details of FVMSS108.<p>Hella 90/120mm progectors are sealed units, so they are weatherproof. If they are used in the pod that hopefully will be made the only thing that is exposed to the elements is the outside glass lens that covers the front of the projector. Curved lens is safely behind it. So, even if I mount a pair of 90mm projectors under my bumper they will be ok, just will look ugly. So if the pod hides the guts of them, we will wash our cars and the pods with the lenses sticking out of them just as ususal.<p>In the reference to cleaning projectors with dish soap and soft brushes and distilled water bath, discussion is about internal cleaning of the reflector, shield and curved lens. Hellas will come clean from the factory and sealed too, so unless you explode a bulb in there or take them apart and mess them up, there is no need for internal cleaning. Hope that clarifies.<p>Yes, I will try to visit a few junkyards and collect extra parts. Hopefully get a few sets of tru e-code HID equipment. Good for testing and playing. May be I can have Six HID projectors for my lights
