isn't there something against aftermarket hid that bright to be install in a pickup truck or any other suv??

In fact, it's illegal in BC to run ANY HIDs that aren't direct from the manufacturer, SPECIFICALLY for your model of car. In other words, the only way you can legally add them to your car, is if they're available as a FACTORY OPTION for your car; then you can legally install THOSE SPECIFIC factory fixtures.
Now I just sit back and wait for someone to give me shit again for posting about this in here. Well guess what? Some people DON'T know that it's illegal, as evidenced by this question. Good on hJe6 for wanting to expand his knowledge.
Reasonable price for HIDs?
HID kit: $100-$150
Violation ticket for improper lighting: $167
Towing car home: $100-$200
Inspection: $100-$150
Reinspection after other illegal mods fail: $100-$150
Whining about it on RS only to get "I told you so": PRICELESS
