does anybody know where to get HID's for the RA?

 

I think these guys make a conversion for this.

Xenon Depot

Just keep in mind they don't work all that great with headlamps that aren't made for HID.

 

what is HID

 

High intensity discharge.

 

basically, it's those bright, almost purple/blue head-lights that you see on Lexus, BMW, the S2000...

The JDM Ralliart comes stock with them, but it hasn't been determined yet if it's a direct replacement for ours.

 

Chances are good that the JDM will work, the cost would be extensive.
Plus you will be blinding the other drivers because the lamps point up to the left instead of to the right.

 

One thing if you do get JDM HID they are angled wrong, and are unsafe. not to mention illegal. at lest in canada its illegal to change to HID if the car didnt origianly come with them. Beacuse they drive on the left hand side and we drive on the right hand side you will blind everyone here.

 

It is illegal in the US now to put HID in a car without HID. If you do a search the usdot made it illegal early this year/late last year. But chances are, if you get a set made for your car, you will not get hassled. Even if you get some JDM HIDs you probably wouldn't get caught, but it is probably a hefty fine if you do.

 

Yeah the chance's of getting a ticket ir rare. I know when i went for my license along time ago in the book it syas it's illegal to modify any cars suspention from oem spec. and well alot of people lower there car and red necks raise there trucks and I've never heard of someone getting a ticket.

 

yeah....seems like a lot of really stupid and pointless laws in both our countries. All they are doin' is using it as a cash grab b/c they know people are GONNA do it anyways so they look at it as another method of income for the province/state.
