how in the blue moon, would they even be able to tell what kind of wattage your pulling? no way. so i guess HID's are illegal? nope.... again, being picky pr*cks. As long as the ALIGNMENT of the bulbs meet requirements, and they WORK, you are fine.
Not exactly right.
Here in New York STATE, there is a law going into effect Januaty 1, 2004. If you have BLUE/HID lamps installed, without HID lenses, the BLUE/HID bulbs have to be replaced with the correct bulbs or fail your inspection.
No mention of wattage, just color and type...
CT has a similar law that can carry heavy consequences. If an officer pulls you over for suspected blue headlights they simply use a white piece of paper held in front of the lamp with a blue light meter measuring the reflected light. If the blue light output is over a certain limit, BAM, you get one of the following, a citation to report to motor viehicle safety inspection with-in 30 days; (no longer in effect since safety inspection faclilities are now closed)operating a blue light without perimit; or impersonating a police officer (figure that one out)
