Are any of you 4th gener with H.I.D.S afraid of getting them stolen...
I just put in my 8000k kit and wow there nuts...they draw attention, and like that all you need to do is pop hood and there your 2 min job. Anyone worried ? Any precautions to take ?

Yup, I agree. Who would know that you have HIDs unless they see it on?
And I'm not sure how easy it is to remove the 4th gen headlamp. Our fascia design is quite different from 5th gens, I should check it out.

I guess now that you mention it, I am a bit worried about my HIDs, I live in a pretty small town and I have the only modded max. Its not that hard to figure out that I have them and everyone knows my car. I should be ok though, I'm planning on having a clifford alarm installed within the next two weeks or so.

The real concern for the thieves is the time. . . they want to make it as quietly and quickly as possible. . . knowing that the HID's they're about to steal were put in aftermarket, they would have to rip the headlight out and most importantly look for the ballasts, mine are so hidden that you would have to steal them during the day and still have trouble getting them out. . . to the the HID's from a 5th gen or an Acura a good thief can probably do it in less than 2 minutes. . .why bother with stealing them from a 4th gen when they can find a 5th gen. . .

Well as for myself living in NY I secure my HID's with a hoodlock/cut off switch. What this does is lock your hood and have a cut off switch on your ignition at a push of a button. All it takes is a key to unlock the button. $100 installed. But as I said this is because I live in NY.
