incorrect.
I was pulled over by police before, and they asked if my hid was 6000k or lower, they didnt say anything about how i wasnt meant to have them, i even told them i had installed them my self. They even tested them to make sure there in fact 6000k. WHITE lights are legal... and thats what 6000k is... pure white anything above that it starts to go blue a bit, which is illegal.
As i said before ive had no trouble with my hids in both my ute and skyline. Both of which didnt come with them factory.
Only had trouble when i used 10 000k bulbs for a bit of fun lol!
