Someone driving an Impreza is more likely to be all legal and above board, and a decat is less of an inconvenience to other drivers than poorly aligned HIDs.

At least he didn't slap you with a fine then and there. He has at least give you time to change them, personally I wouldn't be too annoyed, just put your HIDs back on now to feel vindicated

8000k will look very blue/purple so that's why you got pulled.

Ironic really as the 8000k will produce less light than the usual 6000k kit.. making them less dazzling.

You have illegal lights that dazzle people at night. I think the po-po have been very fair in giving you chance to take them off, when they could just have slapped you with a fine there and then
