New HID's in the Avalanche

[petyweestraw]

Good job bud. Not a fan of the cheap blue ones you see rolling around. Nor being blinded by badly aimed ones. I've always been a fan of silverstars but they don't seem to last.

Thought about retro kits but not big on chopping up my housing and possibly messing them up.

These aren't hardly blue at all really an they aren't stupid bright. But since we have a resident expert ill let him explain everything if he wants lol

[racrguy]

The two in Irving that give the class for every inspector in the area 2 times a week every week? Yeah I think they have it memorized.

I'm still waiting for you to post up where one can find the department standards. They wouldn't be illegal unless there was a statute somewhere outlining the standards, now would they? If you don't know, that's cool, not everyone knows everything about their jobs, but don't act like "because Barney Fife said it was illegal it is." I got pulled over a few months ago for a statute that hasn't been on the books since 2003.

Know more about what you're talking about, don't seem like a dumbass.

Drop in Hids I can't wait until they start really enforcing them with tickets.

Hopefully I won't get a ticket for the wrong light bulbs!!! *not skurd*

I still have the GTO. I sold my 59 Galacie and then bought the av. I didn't sell the Galaxie to buy the av. I like my av screw everyone that doesn't lol

I am just messing with you. I just remember the thread.

I think someone here is on a ten dollar an hour power trip

[OrangeChevyII]

Nope but I guess you're one of the ones that could never follow any rules and was always getting put in timeout.

I grew up in a time era where timeout was for pussies. Nothing's illegal till you get caught!!!

It's not part of the safety inspection. But a state trooper will bust your ass for having them. A guy I work with just got a $300 fine for this.

I just installed some 6K on my dads 12 FX2. They look pretty damn good and he was pleased!

You're going to get a ticket by a state trooper and don't go to the guy in the thread that does inspections because he won't pass you You law breaking asshole!

But I also did 6k and so far I'm happy

FTP! Errr I mean FTSI&ST! ( state insp and state troopers)

Haha, I know. Always hearing its illegal and all this bs. I simply did not have the $800 to spend on a retrofit (which is the best way to go). And my dad wanted more visibility compared to the lame halogens. And he loves em so far and hes 57. Lol

Maybe that state trooper was just having a bad day and decided to be an asshole about it. Lol

6.0 swap? Lol. Or throw in an LS3 in that bad boy.

The only thing the safety inspection requires is high/low beam. If he has both of those you can't fail him for headlights.

I admit my info may be wrong, but that was the requirement last I looked, if I'm wrong please cite a valid source.

The confusion is always between state law, and DOT regulations. DOT states HID has to have a certain number of requirements for the housing, such as squirters, automatic angle compensation, and refracting lenses, etc. Most of the time that never gets picked up by any inspector. I doubt state law has any housing requirements (do they?), most people are just reciting federal DOT requirements.
