I doubt you EVER get in trouble for it though. I have an 89 and 86 BMW and I ride with HIDs and have been for YEARS. When they were fairly new and never had a hassle.
That's not why. They ARE illegal because the beam pattern of HID's in a halogen housing is inconsistent and it supposedly blinds people.

I get blinded my car's that come stock with HID's so it's not a big deal at all, and you won't get stopped by the cops unless you get a funky color like bright blue or pink. Stick with 4000-8000k to be safe, but I think 10000k looks best. Also the lower the k# is, the more lumens the light puts out.

I have them in my car and HID's are prob one of my fav mods, it's cheap and makes your car look a lot better.
