Xenon HID Kit. Legal?

[tonysalib]

If you don't have washers on your front bar, even if you have projectors, HID's are illegal.

This has been answered many many many times.

Many people still do it (including me) and haven't had problems as long as you adjust them.

Adjust them to point slightly lower right? Or is there any other sort of adjustment needed?

[tiksie]

Just lower, right.

****, once again a heap of people posting what they dont know about.

Heres the rules.

If that car didnt come with HIDs out of the factory, then it is illegal to retro fit them.

Even if a higher spec model came with them, and yours didnt, it is still illegal.

thats it, plain and simple.

As above, it applies to pretty much every mod on your car.

If it didn't come like that from factory, it's illegal.

That's a bit too generalising don't you think?

Surely some aftermarket mods as totally legal. What if you just stick some side skirts on?

That's why the RTA puts together regulations to control what can and can't be done.

If the cop wants to be picky (as said everywhere) he can pretty much rape you and get away with it (most of the time) unless you chase it up in court and what not which is a big head ****.

yeah i stuck my hid kit to my condensor on the dc2, plus i wiretucked the cables from the kit. Ive been pulled over plenty of times with no questions ever asked about the lights. It really depends on if they see the lights as blinding or not, hence why projectors are much better on your eyes.

[tiksie]

It all comes down to the cop.

I've been using HID's in my cars for 3 years, no problems at all.
