Default Are H.I.D.'s legal in Canada??

i know that most BMW, Acura, Lexus, Mercedes, ect ect,(higher up cars) have H.I.D's in them stock, but i was just wondering before i go out and spend the $300-$400 for them if they were legal in Canada to get the aftermarket ones for my EG, cause nothing would be more of a **** off for me than getting them and getting pulled over and ticketed for something that turned out to be "illegal". i have read the sites that sell them but they dont fully specify if they are or not.
any help would be appreciated thanks[8D]

Disclaimer
All H.I.D. (High Intensity Discharge) components sold on this web site are strictly regulated for the following purposes only - provided that it is legal to do so:
- Off road, show and track automotive use
- Horticulture (freshwater & brackish plants)
- Laboratory / educational research
I am assuming that means no they are not legal, but the main thing is that i think it might be one of those thing that they might overlook so when i save my money i might get them anyway.

How can they be illegal if a lot of cars have them as factory equipment? Pretty sure you're fine.

Yes, HIDs are legal in Canada or all those luxury cars would be in trouble.

Here's a link to buy them for $250 shipped to your door (shipping is from Canada, so no duty) from a friend of a long time HCF member. Other members have bought from him, and seem satisfied.
