How hot is the German police on aftermarket hid Bulb kits and English bikes?

I am quite interested in this topic as I have an HID kit ready to fit and am off to Germany in a month...
Not quite sure what to do with my early mid-life crisis. Ideas on a post card to P.O.BOX 150...

Did I mention I'm off to Germany on the 19th?
Alas I'm flying and hiring when I'm down there. Excited as Foc!

I've been to Germany quite a few times. I've seen plod on bikes around the Eiffel area a few times but they were just their for a presence and didn't seem to be stopping enyone.
The only time I was stopped was when filtering past a queue of traffic over a hatched area with solid lines.   The non English speaking jolly looking rotund red faced policeman wagged a finger and appearently that area is called 'das hinterland' and it is 'verboten'. 
I doubt they would worry about Hid bulbs unless they were blinding other motorists.
