HID

i meant if you get a defect notice... the fine is just money down the drain. Wondering why everyone is so opposed to doing things the right way... just get projectors and then put in HID. The glare from ill-fitted reflector lights with HID is such a nuisance on the road...

Just shows that bogans can't afford projectors, nothing else....
 
Well luckily my Lancer has stock HID, in some variants, so I may retrofit when I can find some on Import Monster (at a good price), not in a rush..

But, I really get sick and tired of road users that have no idea about adjusting their headlights correctly, putting in 130w bulbs (mega-cool yo) or HIDs (especially good in EB Falcons with dirty, diffused glass lenses, living around Logan)..

theres your problem lol

a mate of mine got the rear window of his legnum shot at in beenleigh lol.



on topic: if you want HIDS, do it properly and buy a projector. not only is it legal then, the light output is so much better
 
yeah, I don't live down there, but when you pass through those areas you notice all the 'wrong-things-to-do' to a car....

As people alluded to above, having projectors does not automatically make it legal at all (consult your ADRs). Projectors (with HID) should have auto-levelling and washers to meet compliance.

You can have projectors on ANY vehicle, but with normal globes...

I am just saying if you MUST have projectors, then at LEAST go to the effort of putting in well aimed projector lenses and shun all fools who put them in reflectors!
 
Even with auto levellers/washers/projectors if it's not from the factory it's not ADR compliant.

Anyway I think this topic has been done to death with most of the same stuff being recycled over and over.


HIDs + Projectors = best way to do it if your car doesn't come with them stock. While defect-able it's better than using reflectors and blinding people.

If anyone wants to add something I PM one of the mods or Ryan/myself with what you want to post and we will unlock it for you or post it ourselves on your behalf. Stuck so it doesn't get lost.
