All HID Owners, Sign HID Petition!
HID conversion info
Found this on another site, the guy said he got the info from the CATZ site. Don't know how true it is.
-----------------------------------------------------
After Aug 15, 2003 aftermarket HID conversion kits will become illegal to sell in the US...here is a letter from Catz USA
CATZ HID DEALER:
We want you to be informed of a Government investigation into the legality of ALL after market HID conversion kits. NHTSA (www.nhtsa.gov) is asking Importers, Suppliers and Manufacturers (CATZ is a Manufacturer and Supplier) to help them determine if the kits meet all kinds of regulations, standards, codes etc. and we are helping in this phase of the investigation.
If the kits are deemed non compliant, there will most likely be a recall. The recall will take place somewhere after August 15th 2003. Only Dealers would be required to return merchandise to us. End user customers will not be notified. If the kits are found to be non-compliant, it will be illegal to sell them to end user customers after August 15th 2003.
If the kits are found to be compliant, business as usual will commence.
We have been given the GO AHEAD by a representative in Washington to continue to sell the products between now and August 15th, and we are doing so, but with advisement to the Dealers.
Please call if you have questions.

...most dealers will be having really good prices, while supplies last, so if you were planning on going HID you might want to hurry up and purchase. Sorry for the book, just giving you guys a heads up, so that if you were planning on doing it, you would have the chance.
