ALL HID kits to become Illegal

Psch91 · Jul 25th, 2003, 06:17 PM

A little bit of background. NHSTA/DOT has been trying to introduce new laws to regulate the sale of HID... well.. they just decided to BAN ALL HID KITS. They do not have a set regulation because HID does not use a filament.. therefore, no matter how accurate the HID kit is, it fails because of that ONE requirement. Well, DUH, HID has no filament, so it automatically fails.

After 8/15/2003, HID kits as you know it will never be sold again unless new laws are made. I'm sure there are all types of legal issues here,for one, this has all been done without anyone knowing. After 8/15/03, there will be a $5,000 fine PER DAY for vendors selling HID kits.

Liteswap.com is geting rid of all their HID inventory before 8/14, so if you want HID, heres your chance.

That sucks.. I hope I don't get in trouble HAVING them. My car passed state saftey inspection with HID's.. I hope they are not going to give me crap next time.

Damn that's lazy instead of figuring out a way to update with the times and regulate it they just said to hell with them all. I would get one but I can't afford so oh well.

what about all the cars that already come with HID's such as bmw's n such, the ones already on the streets, what would be done about those?

i have NEVER been blinded by someone driving behind me with HIDs in their cars, i have been blinded by other ppl who have pretty bright lights(stock),,,,, times where it hurts my eyes beyond belief, but i like driving in front of ppl with HID's because i'm hypnotized by the light patterns, i like HID

Nah, you can still have them. It is just against the law to sell them to people, or import them to sell. Cars that already have them will be fine. Thats why theyre getting rid of them now, so you can still get them to install.

Katana200sx · Jul 27th, 2003, 08:29 PM
