I think that is a load of c**p also! The traffic police here in the UK have Xenons on their vehicles.

Its illegal and always has been to have xenon bulbs in halogen housings, but kenons with the right projectors, offer far less glare than even regular halogen lights.

BS all the way!

He may be refering to the aftermarket lights. Most of the junk on E-bay is not DOT approved and already illegal.

as long as the xenon/hids are self leveling, they are legal. The moron probably read something about after-markets being made illegal.
