or will cops let you off

HIDs on a car that didnt come stock with HIDs = defect.
Doesnt matter wat rating its at.

hey what about this....
if u got a aus spec type r and jap spec conversion, that came stock with hids, is that a defect?

[Mr_will]

yes, because it isnt original equipment in the AUDM car.

It won't be a defect if its self levelling and has washers

Regardless of what DM it came from.

they are a defect but only upto 6000K can be engineered

anything not stock on a car can be a defect depending on the evaluation of the police officer ... depends on ur luck and how much your can stands out... i've been lucky so far 6000k

if cops cant see your ballast.. should be alrite with hid, as long its secured too and no more than 6000K

i get away with it by saying JDM spec car

Key word, should.
If the cop knew that the car didnt come stock with HIDs, regardless of whether he's seen the ballast or not, he can defect you.

That said, majority of cops dont know these differences, and you may be lucky enough to get away with it.
Your risk to take.

yep thats right ...
its at your own risk ...

sometimes is depends how bad or good mood was the cop .. if he/she is a *b!tch than that would be .. something really sux at ..

my friend S2K got defected from a factory HID,
he got pulled offer coz Vtec was screeming on the quiet street at 3am.
he just taken off from the parking bay in 1st gear.. and hit vtec
he wasnt speeding .. but cops just try to make an excuse and get him defected for HID..
he wouldnt want to argue .. or else more complicated ..

Bottom line, cops know nothing. You could say the ballast is your car stereo battery and they will believe you.

You will be amazed at how little traffic cops know about cars.
