I dont think there should be any problems the only things that would get you in trouble is Red and Blue or at least thats what i always got a ticket for.

To my understanding, the law in cali is if your car didn't come with HID's from the factory, then its illegal to have them on.

but its stupid if they sell them you know. so in shorter words im not even suppose to have them on?

knightrider183

u had blue or red hid lights?

Yes they are illegal if your car didn't come factory with HID's but as long as you have the right headlights you'll be fine. HID's require projector headlights because if u have reflect. headlights it blinds oncoming traffic.

i have the ctr headlights. and when im driving people cover there eyes or they either move out of my way in the street? anyway i could get them to be less bright so i wont get hassled?

step one Throw away/sell the 30K kit
step two head over to the appearance/lighting forum where they have covered this exact question before about 100X just search if you cant find it post it where it belongs

if you buy them off a website... some where on the website it will say, "for off-road use only" Thats the business' way of getting out of trouble. If you buy it and install it and use it on public streets its your fault, not the company you bought it from.

Also it may even say on the box too...

got this from a "sponsors" website....

Moreover, in the U.S, this is not street legal for use on public roads. As a result, we officially endorse the kit for exhibition and off-road use. We are not responsible for buyers who violate the terms of sale while in which they will assume all responsibilities for any unauthorized or unintended use other than exhibition or off-road use.</TD></TR></TABLE>

You might want to review CHP's website.

Illegal...

* Blue and yellow headlights. Headlights must be white - blue and yellow are illegal (24011 VC). Look for the DOT symbol on the bulb and package.

* Headlights brighter or higher wattage than those from the factory. You may be able to see better, but the lights are illegal (24011 VC).
