    Factory HIDs on cars are not banned, They are in more cars today then 2 years ago, Its become a option available on many cars now.

    After market HIDs are what they try and stop from being sold because the housings are not designed for HID's and they are to bright in non HID housings, but they are still sold everywhere, it wont ever stop people from buying after market kits

    I've heard of a couple peeps gettin tickets for them, and I was ridin w/ my homeboy who has an HID kit in his '96 Impala, people kept flashin thier high's at him to "turn it down" LOL stupid bitch yelled that out the window.

    I'm actually thinkin of doin this in the '64 though. Any ideas where I could find a kit for cheap?

    My guess would be , the Civic owner probably would have more trouble with this than a G35 owner. One is a luxury car and one isnt. Im kinda curious as to how the cop would know it wasnt OEM.
