Installing a HID ballast and bulb without a projector lens is illegal and unsafe. The light will dazzle the oncoming drivers and really not be focused enough with the stock headlight to provide a constant beam of light.

Unless your vehicle came with HID's, its illegal with or without a projector. Not DOT approved. That said, I don't think there's a LEO around that would issue a summons for running HIDs unless it was to bust a tuner acting like an a hole with obnoxious purple (over 7-8000K) lights. Stay under 6k (4 to 5 is better) and you'll be fine.
