hmm I thought this would've been cheap and easy.
how much does one of these auto levelling systems cost as well as the washers?
I looked into HID's and decided to fit good quality driving lights instead, even though it looks a little over the top. I can now see up to 1/2 a km at night, and the fitment was inspected and passed ok by RACQ
everything is illegal in aus lolz
Before fitting after-market HIDs please read this - http://www.danielsternlighting.com/t...nversions.html
There are NO legal HID kits, despite what the sellers say.
Fitting a HID kit, or blue-tinted bulbs just for the 'blue' look is some of the most pathetic ricer shit I've ever heard of. People that are happy to blind other road users in the name of being 'fully sik' sadden me greatly.
Auto Express? Quids? DOT? English?Quote:

2. 1st two paragraph already wrong!!! It says Philips doesnt produce the HID kits, bla blabla... check the official Philips website (http://www.nam.lighting.philips.com/...ucts/xenon.php) is this the fake Philips website?
Ok, I agree that HIDs might be illegal in Australia... but the thing is if you can, somehow, house the head light so it give the same ammount of light and the same angle as the OEM one (our Civic FDs should have almost the same angle and glares as the OEM Euros) then I think it should be fine. If its already the same but ppl still angry at it, then does this means that ppl will still beaming on Euros?
Buddah: Hey buddah, regarding "good quality driving lights" enlightened me plz... (e.g. never heard of this thing before... :p)

They're illegal clear across Europe and in all of the many countries that use European ECE headlight regulations. They're illegal in the US and Canada. Some people dismiss this because North American regulations, in particular, are written in such a manner as to reject a great many genuinely good headlamps. Nevertheless, on the particular count of HID "retrofits" into halogen headlamps, the world's regulators and engineers all say DON'T!
2. Actually you're wrong...
The link you provided to the Philips website refers to their xenon bulbs, no mention of a kit at all.
whoops my bad neonode... you got me again there...
oh well, regarding the HID kit... I think it just like what NeoNode said... Better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it. :p
eagle eyes will solve all the problems :p
How would eagle eyes solve the problem?Quote:
