Calling all HID Mod people....

[Damegeliebter]

Just a quick question...Have any of you had to pass state inspections yet? I know at least in New Hampshire that any non-stock modification to the headlights (which includes HID plug and play & retrofit projectors) is an automatic failure. Have any of you had to deal with that yet??? TIA

i'm getting ready to put HID in my '05... but to the best of my knowledge, TN doesn't have any such rule or reg. saying otherwise

I haven't had to pass an inspection yet. When I take it in for inspection I will remove the HID bulbs and replace my stock bulbs. I was able to hide one of my HID ballasts during installation, and placed black electrical tape on the second ballast to prevent the inspector from recognizing the HID ballast.

I don't think I can fail an inspection if the lights are installed on the car but not operational. It will take 5 minutes to switch the HIDS out with the Halogen bulbs.

I am not to concerned with it. If questioned, the HIDs are only for use when I am offroading.
