Headlight Laws??
I just picked up an 02 RSX-S last week that has HIDs installed. Not sure if they are aftermarket or not but they're birght as hell, to me they look brighter than most other HIDs I see on the road. The guy I bought it from told me he thinks they're legal but I swear I took it around the block the other night and had 3 cars flash their high beams at me, I even passed a cop in the oncoming lane and he slowed to almost a stop, thought he was going to turn around and pull me over.
So I was just wondering what the laws were on HIDs in the area. anyone??

Re: Headlight Laws??
hids installed in to fixtures not made for hids are illegal. so basically 99% percent of the people who have them around here are. if they are aftermarket that is. when they come factory, or you buy or make your own headlamp with a projector style fixture, it will be legal. a lot of aftermarket headlights say they are projectors, but the proper kind is like a glass half dome. pretty easy to see the difference.
