Default HID Headlight - US Ban

Has anyone heard about this yet? My friend just told me that he was reading on the internet, that the US Goverment just put a ban on the selling of HID kits as of Aug 14th. And that dealers can only sell what they have in stock.

no, improperly aimed shyte or wrong capsules (i.e. D2S inside reflector housing) is what blinds people.

I dont see why anymore people would buy them before they become illegal if they dont liquidate the inventory with kits at around 200 bucks.

I have talked to a major hids supplier and they told me that is was junk. They are still staying in business. They just have to put on the HIDS now that they are for off road use only. Which as everyone know's that is what most of the parts we buy have on them.
