Well, you don't actually state what country you live in?

I trust you are aware that retro-fitting HIDs into Halogen headlamps is illegal; in most states of the US, the UK, and many EU countries.

i live in So Cal, in response to your reminder of illegal addtionions to automobiles this would have to include tunning the ECU, upgrading your turbo, adding exhuast, and numerous other modifications. As car enthusiast we will continue to modify our cars regardless. So back to my original question does anybody know how to remove the headlights?

Are you seriously concerned? or is it that you are bored enough to convince yourself that you should publicly anounce your retardedness?

Thank-you. If you would be kind enough to update your details in your User CP, then I won't have to ask you each time!

No - that wasn't the reason behind my question. I'm sure you will agree that most people know about adding/upgrading exhausts, turbos, ICE, etc - and the fact that some of those changes require that you notify your insurance company - as they are classed as a "modification" (though whether you actually do or not is of no concern to me). However, those "mods" are NOT illegal.

Retro-fitting HIDs into Halogen headlamps IS illegal, in many countries. Again, if you wish to carry out this particular mod, then fine. It is just that many people do not actually know they are illegal, and in the UK, the authorities are actually clamping down on fitting and using these. My stance on this issue is only to offer clarity on the legal issue, and not to "preach".

As I stated in my reply above, many people don't actually know they are illegal. It is completely different to changing an exhaust, or adding an intercooler, for example - which are legal !!!

And what is wrong with actually posting on this public forum??

I'm quite sure many others (me included) would be interested to know!
