    Has anyone had major issues with the police in regards to HID? I mean, say if you hide the ballasts and wiring, he/she can't really ding you for it as then they would be "perceiving" that you have HID's ect correct?

    Then again there's always good cop/bad cop. Just received some quality HID's for my birthday so i'll be aiming it low.

    its not hard to tell if they are HIDs mate.
    If the cop wants to defect you he will. not a bad idea to hide the ballast and wiring but even still its not 100% cover from being booked.
    Gas up the Vtec for you tonight and baby you can go wherever you like.....

    Not easy to hide them - limited space as where to hide them

    mines hidden pretty well. lume tube the trying in an attempt to look "stock"
    but like what FAT_VTI said...if they wanna defect you they can...its
    not that difficult to tell whether you have hids or not...the cops would have to
    be pretty stupid not being able to tell the difference

    Yeah, its very unlikely you will get booked for HIDS in your car, i've never heard of anyone getting done with them.

    I couldnt find any good spots to hide my HIDS :/ but in some cars you can hide them really well, so you wouldnt know if you had them or not.

    Unless its some stupid colour rating like 16,000K ! then your done.

    I've gone passed heaps of cops with no troubles at all, its just the other drivers on the road who think you have your high beams on and it gives them the shits something cronic, lol.

    I had some guy had a go at me once at the local shops about them, that they are too bright etc, and i just replied its a Honda, its nothing like a commodore. which is what he was driving and he just stormed off.

    tell him his exhaust/emissions consumption is too much and its going to kill more people much faster than a bright headlight.

    lol

    Well, had it installed last night by my brother predominantly. Ballasts were neatly tucked away but its true about how some guys say it's not hard to notice the HID's.

    Had it adjusted abit too low so need to re-adjust, now need some foggies for this damn Melbourne weather

    You're more at risk of being killed by me if you drive behind me with HID's in a reflector housing. It's one of my major pet hates.
    It's not a f*cking Prelude.

    Some reflector housing like the ones in the civics FDs are quite good.

    I've got HIDs in mine and the cutoff is perfect. I will be getting projectors in the near future for better focus and cosmetics though.

    I do agree that a lot are awful though.

    I installed my HID kit today...will post some pics when I take them tonight...they look really good...you can see them clearly in broad daylight

    Funny story...as I was installing them copper pulled into my frontyard..I though to myself " WTF I haven't installed them yet and I will get done for them"....worked out at the end that property next door got broken into so he asked me if I heard anything last night...

    Easy installation...plug and play!
