M35 Lighting

[jasevr4]

The only way to be certain it has/hasnt got Xenons is to take the front bar off so you can get the headlights out to look at the fittings; so I dunno if regency would have gone to that effort. I assume itd be possible to get a higher lumen rated D2R bulb but I've never looked into it. I do find my Xenons a lot brighter than the halogens compliance put in though!

Here's hoping they are in there then. Might check a bit closer tomorrow.

Sorry to bring this back up; but it is coming to the business end of the compliance. Car arrives at port tomorrow. Basically im asking again, does anyone have spare M35 headlights or a halogen kit? I need one of the two in order for the dream boats not to butcher the shit out of my headlights. I have asked him i want everything that is removed handed back to me without being ill-repairable. His response was, " No, as it's strict guidlines we must butcher it in order to show compliance"- What a load of bullocks! If it was a neat job it could be repaired with a quick soldering job surely.

So If anyone read the above, and can help, please PM me!

Can you not have it complied elsewhere?

If it was through an agent (Iron Chef etc), surely they could send it to another compliance shop?

Yeah, Thats a fair point. Apparently it's not the compliance that is the problem, it the pits for when it gets checked in order for it to get regoed. (WA) Even suggested using my own guy to do the pits to which he is saying no. :S Wouldn't recommend (insert workshop/importerhere) to anyone. No idea of customer service.

thats not entirely true, technically its the law and he is abiding by it.

WTF? Are you not allowed FACTORY HID's in Aus?

Aftermarket HID kits here are illegal, due to the fact most of tthem are for LHD cars so distract oncoming traffic... But if you drive towards a car with factory, adjusted properly HID's, they don't phase you at all...

It's the lack of auto levelling that causes issues with the law

exactly. whats a RAWS licenceworkshop/equipment worth nowadays ($100k+) and all the inspector has to do is pick your car which you want done wrong/illegally.

not worth it to the RAW.

You can get factory HIDs; look at the Holden Caprice and some saabs. They just have to be self levelling and have headlight washers fitted.

wrong, the headlight unit itself has the beam modifications for LHD and RHD, not the burner/globe.

an H1 is an H1 no matter what side of the road you drive on
