OOOOOOOOOLD defect and RWC - Reregistering

**Manabir** · 10-01-2013 10:17 AM

Hey peoples.
Noob type question.
My prelude got defected over 2 years ago and i didnt NEED a car at the time so i just let the rego lapse. Public transport being very easy to use and being cheaper and all.
But the time is coming that i need to reregister it.

One of the items on the defect was cause i had HID. At the time i had my stock reflector headlights in cause i was planning on modifying my aftermarket projectors and couldnt be bothered swapping wiring and all to put regular halogen globes in for the few weeks i was expecting to have the reflectors in.
I have put the aftermarket projectors back in as one of the mounts on my stock headlights is broken so wouldnt pass the roady.

My question is:
If the guy doing my roadworthy lets it pass with the HID in, (i know he isnt meant to without auto levellers and washers but my guy will probably pass it anyway), will the guys at VicRoads still look for the specific items from the defect from over 2 years ago?
Or will they only do the regular reregistration inspection to make sure the RWC is valid, VIN, engine number, etc, matches up?

I am just being really lazy and really dont wanna stuff around with rewiring the headlights to swap to halogens just to rewire up the HID again after it is registered.

No, the defect will still be attached to the car, so it needs be be done properly.

Good to see you can read.

Ahh HID's in reflectors suck, when i put projectors in my jazz OMG the light was SO MUCH better, when i jump in the civic to compare the globes are pathetic - i feel like im drivign around blind.

I can read perfectly well. I'm glad that they are normally installed correctly, but I was referring to the several weeks during which you were driving around blinding everyone.

IF it was a major Just get the rwc and u will be sweet. Vicroads won't even wana look at the car if u got a rwc.

How ever if it was a minor u will have to go thru the pits aswell

It will be fine all vicroads check is the vin number and engine number, aslong as u got the rwc you will get your new plates and rego

dunno if its the same as perth..

but when i bought my second prelude, it had a old defect which then the owner let the whole rego lapse.

i took it to the pits, they asked if i had a old defect in the past, i said no (played dumb, like chinese fob dumb), they did all the checks on the car, nek minut plates were on and i was driving it home.

maybe just play a little dumb.

if not then i would assume that it would just be a normal day at the pits as if it was a unregistered car.

At home DIY it is not hard. (Save $$$$$$$)If not useful than replace at a workshop.
