and yes they are 'illegal' - dude you're plain stupid.

lots of things in life are 'illegal' but so what? :p im sure you have done illegal things, everyone has.

theres illegal things were they are just plain illegal! and illegal things which are still 'safe' and should be legal, one is aftermarket hids, the standard lights on a new bmw x5 or what ever those things are, are more bright and dangerous than hids would be on a fiat 500.

ok in truth i agree with you. why shouldn't we be allowed these lights. the reason given by gordon brown and his all buddies is that after market lights have not been tested on individual cars and therefore their positioning may be wrong for the car in question and could in turn blind oncoming drivers. it is very possible to tell the difference between real xenon lights and hids. so there is the 0.0001% chance police may stop you because they have been instructed to do so.
so each and every time i drive my lovely 500 which is going to be awesome i have to carry the tension that i may be stopped in that 0.000001% situation. at that point i will get a fine/points or whatever that i could have avoided. so i just want to stay legal on the road. what i do elsewhere, well im willing to take a chance :p
please take what i have said lightly, they are just my thoughts, i don't intend on starting any arguments. cheers.

xenon/hids headlights, are the same thing ;) and as said, they are optional, how will the police know if they are an aftermarket kit or the optional extra? they wont simply unless they rip your car into bits.

If you don't have high pressure headlamp washers they will know.

Cheers

i think they have to have washers OR self levelers iirc? i might be wrong but im sure i read that somewhere.

edit- it does have to have both, but again likely hood of being done for it is very slim, iv been pulled numerous times, car checked, nothings ever been said about my headlights.

lol beau and his crappy sporting :p
HIDs are great, no comparison to the xenon rip off bulbs with a blue coloured lens and tip.
a guy at work has some 'xenon' bulbs lol basically H$ bulb with a crap coloured lens and they look abit tacky - and they are road legal.
HID kits are great on grandej's GP they looked mint (y)

And tbh the police cant prove they are aftermarket. My ped is tuned and ive been pulled for speeding, i think the only standard thing on it is the wheels crankcase and bodywork lol :rolleyes:
 
I'd rather poke my own eyes out with a spoon! :eek:


Can't you be arrested for that? :p

Really? I heard you were going out "an keepin-ireal" with your "young friend" on one of these types of events tomorrow evening :confused:;):D. Think you can/should be arrested for that! :D

You weren't accusing me of grooming were you? :eek:;)
