all illegal sorry dude, you'll risk others safety, your safety and void your insurance/get pulled over

retrofitting to HID is the only option, which involves taking the projector from a factory HID car and putting it into your headlight housing

I'm doing mine at the moment, I'll be using a 4300k bulb(white light)

haha not here in NZ :( oh yeah :)

states in our warrant of fitness checks(hid are illegal unless retrofitted with an OEM projector :))

I think HIDs standard are illegal in Australia too? well ones without self levelling and washers(R34 xenons etc)

the only cars that are allowed them would be the european cars?

haha looks like it?

is that an HID kit? because that is quite a lot of glare, you sure that's not on fullbeam?

you must get flashed all the time

This explains why they are illegal:

You could alwasy get GTR R34 Xenon lights for yours and sell off the PNP kit and headlights, or go custom retrofit

Like Ronin09 did, he did a very nice job too, no glare and a sharp cutoff

Oh true if if had the factory HID xenon lenses then it should be sweet :(, probably just lense flare off the cellphone :)

it's when people start putting them in halogens when the problems happen :), i've seen quite a few 32's and 33s round here blind the crap out of me with HIDs :S

I've got an HID kit installed in my 32 and haven't been flashed so far. I guess the kit is better in the projector housing than it is in the reflectors. I kind of regret buying the kit, but I couldn't see anything without it.

Any light that is over 4,600K - I got 4,500K bulbs on - they look really bright and nice... but I know I won't get burnt for them... so yeah... HID's are nice no doubt about that... but why risk getting pulled over and possibly defected just for your driving lights?

      Cleaning my wheels 😍

      By The Bogan · Posted

      I clean my wheels every time I wash the car, I also clean the barrels, the only product I use on the wheels is truck wash and a pressure washer, followed by (inset your chosen name brand) wash and wax, time per wheel is probably 2 minutes total, cleaning the barrels is easy with one of these microfibre thingies on a stick from Sabco, they're also great for getting in between the front guards and body, and tight spots in the engine bay

      An updated post here. Sounds to me like there's definitely a bit of sketchiness here.  Old mate with 10 rusting Torana's in the front yard might be more who they're focussed on. (For right or wrong).

      Is this not just about people wrecking, and storing, multiple cars in their front yard? I now a tow truck driver that was contracted by the council to clean up housing commission front and rear yards in houses and unit car parks I'm all for working on, and doing maintenance on your car in your garage or driveway, but some people definitely take the piss  There's one house locally to me that I walk past regularly where the front yard and driveway looks like a wreckers, multiple cars in various stages of being stripped, and the yard looks like all of fluids are basically dumped on the ground I may be wrong, but it seems that the initial reports, which I've seen nothing actually official about yet, may be getting taken out of context, like alot of the latest "the sky is falling" stuff found on the youtubes for clicks

      have they? Link appreciated. I live in Casey. I can see both sides of the argument in this case. There's a lot of sketchy stuff going on. There needs to be a clear definition of what this is supposed to be IMO. I wager the intent was to be a broad sweeping brush against people who have 4 cars up on blocks on their front lawn, not someone who services their own car behind their own gate on a weekend bothering probably nobody. But it'd be hard to legislate the difference there.

      Cleaning my wheels 😍

      By PranK · Posted

      Oh, the wheels were already off. I wouldn't normally take them off to clean them although it does make it easier with the ceramic, so I might take them off when reapplying. I don't drive much but now with the ceramic coat, when I do drive and they get dirty I can get most off with the pressure washer. I'll be switching to dirtier pads soon which was the motivation for the ceramic as I usually just clean them and sometimes use Autoglym wheel protector. Nah, f**k the barrels! Haha, I'll give them a quick scrub when they're off the car and a pressure wash, but even I draw the line with the barrels. Yes, dark coloured wheels allow you to get away with a lot!
