Default are EURO SPEC bi-xenons illegal in the US?

I heard that the Euro SPEC bi-xenon HID headlights are much better than the USA SPEC. Is it illegal to have Euro SPEC bi-xenon HIDs in the United States? Does anybody know this? I would imagine it is, but it's still worth asking arouond.

thanx...

my guess would be yes but they would have to stop you and it would be a state by state choice if i could get them i would!!!

Euro SPEC bi-xenon HIDs


No idea, but would imagine it differs from state to state

Nothing aftermarket modification is legal. Normally they wouldnt stop you for bixenon but if you drive wrecklessly then they have a reason to stop you. Nowaday, you see all sort of mod but no cops care unless you wrecklessly.

So if I get Euro spec bi-xenons, then would the police have any way of knowing just by spotting me? I know MB fanatics can tell the difference between US and Euro specs, but do you think the cops can? Did anybody ever hear of anyone doing a Euro spec bi-xenon mod in the US? In other words, would you advise against me doing this?

thanx...

The X5 has an option of bi-xeons. They're not going to stop you solely on having different lights. I mean a lot of ricers have super bright lights and they don't get pulled over for it.
