read this if you want, i am very upset!!!

well 2 days ago one of my HID lights went out, either it was the bulbs or ballast.. so i have any extra set that i bought just to throw on something else or to have just in case. Well when i called the shop where i got it from i found out the that law about banning hids went into affect.. i didn't think it would happen but it f**ks up people that have it, means no warrenty, no more hids, i guess you can either get it overseas or outside us but it a pain in the ***!!!so my backup already went into affect and if something else ever came up i'd be looking at weeks and weeks for any replacment parts to arrive from europe.... no disrepect but its all because of old people that they banned it... too bright for them at night-----> then don't drive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

well good for you, wanna cookie???
not everyone has stock hids... also if anything breaks down on stock hids it'll cost a grip to replace compared to aftermarket stuff
this all means no hids in fog lights, there trying to get rid of supre white lights ,even those cheap aftermarket wanna be xenon lights as well

Whoaa...Slow down buddy...Dont know what got in your paints...I dont know why you are taking it such a bad why, i never ment anything bad by what I said...I'm just saying I have the stock HID's and now they are illegal from the post you stated at the top....If you have a cookie I wouldent mind taking one

You need to calm yourself.

thanks, its all good, just the us takes action on stupid stuff, instead of dealing with important things, they crack down on lights.
like once upon a time when i had a rice rocket they'd always oull me over no matter what, i could be parked and still get a ticket.
but then if a muscle car or a harley drove by making thunder i'd get a ticket for exhust cause its not factory approved, just some things really don't make sense
