And that's why those kits are illegal. Too bright for opposite traffic as the driver is blinded, which could lead to an accident. If the car travelling in the opposite direction (or in front of ya) happenes to be a cop, and pulls ya over to check, your bank balance will be hit very hard. Plus a full RWC inspection and a coloured piece of paper on the screen.

to an extent. i never have my toolbox in the back of my car at night, and i have driven once in the last 6 months with stuff in the back weighing it down at night. i set up my headlight aiming with weight in the back (3 spare wheels) and i never have that much weight, so they always aim slightly down to the optimum position. and i feel i can succesfully talk my way out of a yellow sticker on the HID issue. country numberplates make for some good cover stories.

They are illegal (at least in vic) unless you have self leveling headlights, and washers for the headlights.

They are very nice though.

There is one loop hole to this (found out from the Phillips rep)
You can have HID's if you have two of the same type of light (I can't imagine that makes too much sense so..........) Like in say an XR6 or Territory when you have the Hi/Lo beam as a H4 globe then another high beam as a H7 you are technically allowed to upgrade the H7 to high beam.


Sorry if my wording is incorrect I just cant think of what he called it for the life of me.

its only illegal if you get caught. every 2 weeks i drive 50km's at midnight home to my house. i much prefer to run the gauntlet, knowing im making my trip home safer for me and other road users, and risk the yellow sticker.

Oh... I get it, the other road users must be thanking you when they're flashing their high beams at you when you are driving at them.

if youd read before, u woulda seen they are actually adjusted down from what they should be. they are not as in your face as new cars with HID's. the people who are flashing, are flashing because they dont see me turn high beams off, yet my lights are still very bright.

The
only thing that i would like to say
is if you check out the EBAY ad and see how many spelling mistakes this ad has can you trust what he has written and the warranty that he offers?

I get kits though work for $300 or the Phillips kits for $1200


I can say the Phillips aren't worth the extra hassle and so far Ive had maybe two problems with the kits for 300 which I've sold close to 40 of, which were replaced in a matter of hours.

well... last night got a yellow... funnily enough, not for my headlights....

I should stick HID kits into these. That should attract every flying insect for miles.

I have mine in a pair of lightforce 240's and yes every bug you find seems to love them.
