Can anyone tell me if the HID (High Intensity Discharge) headlamps (blue) are legal in West Virginia or will I have to re-modify my car? I have them as headlamps and driving lamps as well. I also have limo tint on my windows. How will that fly?
Thanks in advance, LSR  |

I see those lamps on cars..some things like large wide wheels on Pick-up trucks will not pass inspection and are interchanged during that inspection time...Tinted windows depend on how dark the glass is tinted...

Well, I drive a 2005 PT Cruiser that has been completely customized and the HID lights are not factory. I have heard that in some states if the lights are not OEM, they are illegal on the vehicle.

I don' think they are illegal here, not yet. I hate those blinding damn things! They should be outlawed, not very respectful to oncoming drivers especially on our winding two lane roads. If your tint is too dark, especially if on the windshield or back glass, you will get pulled over, better have your seatbelt on for this. For now they charge you court costs for every individual charge or offence.

Window tint - according to these sites the WV law says 35%
Welcome to TintLaws.com
Autowindowtinting
As to Audi and BMW HID headlights - they don't give off that blinding blue glare.
Guess this explains why:
Wonder how/if new and developing laws concerning lightbulbs will affect the HID? |

I Can't wait...the new flourencent bulbs will need a HazMat team to clean up the highways from the 'fender benders...
Glare? I doubt it...at 40 watts, we will go faster by walking...but that might be the idea..
Wonder what one of those Amish Buggies would run...do they have a used car lot for that item anywhere Grantsville? 3rd and 4th world is our way of the future..
