R34 Gtt Hid's And Police Trouble

[Bytron123]

I just got a defect on my r34 GTT for not having auto self levelers for my HID's! Anyone have this problem before and what do i do to retify it!

It has happened before...

What you can do is either borrow a pair of non HID headlights to clear defect or get them converted to H1's.

thats stupid, ive got genuine XENON HID's in my series 2 C34 stagea. they have a height adjustment wheel on the dash so i can wind them up and down, if i get afew flashes from drivers i wind them down. if it passed compliance with them then how can cops put a defect on something they have zero mechanical or automotive knowledge about?

It wouldn't have passed compliance with them in. That's kinda the point. However, many shops will put them back in after compliance, or just pass with and pretend they converted them. Certainly my compliance papers for my car say they were converted - they sure weren't - and I've been defected for it.

The OEM HID in skylines is supposed to be converted to regular globes at compliance time. The OEM options do not meet ADR requirements.

Yeah.. You have a height adjustment knob, so? lol

Is it auto? if not, it's defective.

The only way for HID's to be legal is to have auto leveling, and some states might need washer jets too.

Yep, this.

Reason being, if you come up over a crest or hill, your headlights are going to be pointed straight into oncoming drivers eyes. Standard headlights will always just point straight ahead. Adaptive headlights automatically rotate so that they are always pointed at the road. Helps with cornering n shit too.

OP, there really isn't any way to rectify it. Getting adaptive headlights and washer jets installed would cost you an arm and a leg. You can either swap out the HID's to halogens to pass inspection and then swap them back, or you can just leave the halogens in place.
