Unfortunately, sjlee, it is not a rumor. Aftermarket HID kits do not comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 108 and cannot be sold or imported in the U.S. any more. It is a $5000 fine per occurence (i.e. kit sold/imported). APC paid a $650K civil penalty for not meeting safety standards. To read the press release, visit http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/nhtsa/annou...e=pr21-03.html.

The aftermarket HID kits that APC sold did not comply with their standards, but there is no regulation saying that ALL HID kits are illegal.
