HID theft prevention Kit

Guys, who has the part number for this kit made by Nissan? I read about it but the service manager had no idea what I was talking about. Who all uses it?

I called one dealer and the kit is 75 bucks but he said he is almsot sure they woudl charge for instalation. What does the hood lock do? Can you still open the hood like normal?

If you put in these tamper resistant bolts does that mean you will never be able to remove the headlights?

What is this "Data Dots recall'?

I am not familiar with that term.

Do you people not realize the side-effects of doing this? Here's what I said in the other thread...

"Oh God...you do realize that now the thieves will end up damaging your fenders and hood when they try to steal them, right? It's the dumbest safety measure ever, just let them rip the HIDs out clean."

Maybe it's just me, but I've noticed a lot less "OMFG my HID's got jacked!!" threads lately.

instead of the enitre kit do you all think it is wise just to change out the bolts? After you change them out is it then inpossibel to remove the headlights ever? What if they needed to be replaced?
