I have 12,000k driving and 10,000k high beam. have past police tons of times they dont look twice. they are bearley even blue for 12,000 and I have them aimed just right. your probably blinding everyone. with the pits I am pretty sure that's the c**t thing the coppers do when they wanna cause you grief, it is a full inspection and emission test, from what I've heard the car runs over a shaker and all suspension checked. its more like a HARDCORE road worthy. I have been sent to pits with my old r32 (there was no way!) if you de-register it and re-register it, your set! that's what I did.
