HID's are illegal I thought in cars that did not have them from the factory....

If they want to be picky they can fail your car cause it didn't come equiped with HID's, but the Hi-beams don't have to work just the Indicator in the gauge cluster (Stupid right ?). I was a state inspector for 6 years in Harris county up untill 2007.

i am a state inspector we do have to check for high beams and low beams.. both must work , you can have HIDs as long as the other lights work.. where are you located at and where are you trying to get your car inspected at ??

24 years and older, but you can also register it as a classic I believe and have no inspection

You can have them as long as they say DOT on the bulb. And you have high and low beams along with a high beam indicator.

Any vehicle from 1984 and up is suppose to have emissions. And for gas caps its any vehicle 2-24 years old they are suppose to get tested.

Thats what I thought. So in January my 87 should be able to pass inspection with only a safety check. No more having to swap mid pipes for inspection anymore.
