i think we (ppl in vancouver) would be fine. Since all the newER high end cars are comin out with factory HIDs. The only reason they are ticketing ppl with aftermarket is because with factory HIDs you have to pay an extra TAX for theirs. Anywho, the factory HIDs are aroud 4800 ks. If you really dun wanna get cought, just stick with something that isn't different as the factory ones. I am getting a 8000 k kit. (finger cross.. ) from a frnd of mine from toronto. If the result is good i will post some pix at the other section. Later
