Which hid's are illeagal in cali? Does anyone know?

 

the only legal HID's in any state / most countries are ones that come factory stock, AFAIK.

 

Thats what Ive heard as well, its illegal to have hids on any vehicle that wasnt equipped with hids from the factory and as far as i know they cant even offer them as a dealer installed option either. but i guess its up to the state/county/city to decide if they really wanna enforce it or not, i had hids on my accord as well as many other civics,integras etc all over mid tn and was never pulled over.

 

I want h.I.d's but I already have too may tickets, so I don't want to take a chance on it. I guess ill look it up somewhere.?

 

There are numbers on your headlight, along with SAE DOT or other stamps, which require a bulb of that type to be in the headlight. HID 9005 bulbs do not count as they are what we call "rebased" bulbs. It's illegal period. The way I do it is retrofit. still illegal, but as close to legal as you can get.

 

dude you will never get pulled for hid alone, here in canada i had them for almost 4 years i never had a ticked for it and i been pulled many many many times.

 

Please... Come to California with your attitude... You don't even live in the US, doesn't compare.

 

U get ur hood popped for having a lowered car. It's ridiculous

 

whats a car

 

I'd like them to try to pop my hood, show me your warrant officer, **** that, I will let them search the interior though.

 

okay i'm getting myself an HID kit,and getting 6k. well hears the thing that i would like to know, i shouldnt get an ticket from "COPS" if i'm not run the light kit in the picture that i'm using from someones picture for an example. because all i'm going to do is just pulg in play the HID light without use the thing in the picture.

also for the fog light, is there any brighter light for the fog light, because i only have the stock h11 lights which is just the clear lights, so i want some fog light that is a little brighter to see then stock h11 light. because i know when getting the HID'S in, these fog light is going to look like ****. i also know that they make HID'S for the fog lights but i'm sure that i wont be able to see nothing when its time for fog. help me out.

 

don't put in HID's without a retrofit, that **** is blinding. you'll deff get popped if you drive up behind a cop

 

HOLY ****... Please go back to school.

 

I have hids here in florida I ride behind cops all day and have never gotten a ticket

 

same here and i drive behind the Cali cops. i even drove past one that was doing a speed trap and nothing happened.

 

What bightness do u have. I wana get 8k's

 

dont mind me about the spelling but i know it's been years that i havent been to school but back to the hids, with 6k i shouldnt able to then. because i never did a hid before so before i do the hid i'm making sure that i wont be abe to get an tickets for the lights. i dont know if 6k is bright. but that what i'm asking.

 

keep it around 4-5k. The higher you go the less useable light you have. and make sure youre using projectors with a good cutoff so you dont blind people.

 

I hate projectors on efs lol

 

No aftermarket HID kit is considered to be street legal. I would also suggest staying around the 4300k range to avoid any unwanted attention.

I live in NJ, We don't get hounded for HID's but trust me you guys don't go through HALF the crap we go through over here because the Grand Theft Auto dynamic involving Honda's and Stolen motors, ect here is insurmountable..we get our hoods popped for being HONDA DRIVERS, nevermind HID's or tints.

Anyway, I was in oakland 2 weeks ago for some streeting, brought my hatch which has not only Crystal Blue's in the headlamps, but also a 6 Bulb custom array, HID's in the fog lamps and I didn't get touched..and that's with out of state plates.

Go for the 6000K's and rock on man, you'll be ok.

 

Yea I heard jerseys bad. I think ima just get 6ks

 

6k looks kinda blue get 4300
