The NHSTA is going after the sellers of the kits. There is a MINIMUM 5K penalty if they catch a merchant selling the HID kits. Of course, if they find out that you've been selling for quite some time the penalty will be stiffer.
A couple of months ago, APC was forced to pay a fine of almost a million dollars for their clear headlamps that did not meet DOT certification standards. I doubt you will see many sellers offering HID kits once the ban of sales takes place.

This is coming from a seller that has an excellent reputation. If you read his posts you can see that he doesn't dish out bs to make a sale. He's also cutting his prices to sell off his inventory... I would think if this was a hoax to boost sales that a good businessman would raise prices due to the increased surge of demand.
Autolamps-Online also confirmed the above in this email:
