hids are illegal no matter what unless they came with the car. however, people do it anyways.

you will be fine, some models come with HID. I don;t think they are illegal unless you put them in a non-projector housing.
And even if they are no one would ever know they didn't come with the car..

They are illegal if they don't come factory. Many of us run aftermarket HID in a non-HID designed projector and they look fine and don't get hassled. They don't have as much glare as a non-projector.
You shouldn't get hassled at all if you run 4300-6000k bulbs.
The LED strips would need to be REALLY bright during the day to be able to get away with using them as DRLs. They also would be illegal if they don't meet HTA standards, but then again most are not hassled for it. It does not mean you won't be so be aware of that.

We have a number of sponsors who provide HID kits, great prices and easy returns if something isn't working.
