HID conversion kits

[Renegade]

[snip]Yeah, its very unlikely you will get booked for HIDS in your car, i've never heard of anyone getting done with them.[/snip]

That's because you live in the city mate. The cops are much fairer down there (believe it or not)
Try living in a moderately small country town where they've nothing better to do that target "hoons" (that is they can't be stuffed doing any real policing - my mate's dirt bike got flogged ... he found who had it, told the fuzz and the reply was "We've much more important things to do than chase down motor bikes" Real reason - they are scared of entering this particular community)
So every one I know of who has retro fitted HID's have been defected. And those who retro fitted projector housings have been slapped with 2 defects - one for the HID's and one for non ADR compliant headlight fitting.
All this info is first hand - either my experience, or friends whom I've been with when it happened, so please don't bother telling me that's not how it is. I'm 32, I've been modifying cars since I was 20, and I've lived in this town the whole time. So my name and my current car now graces a white board at the local station as a "known offender" How many traffic fines/defects have I had in around 15 years of driving? One defect for non working spotlights on a road rego'd rally car, and they didn't work coz I hadn't wired them up yet. I must be one bad egg.
And the cops wonder why they have a bad name.

Sorry for the hi-jack, but I just wanted to point out that just coz the cops in Sydney don't pull you over doesn't mean they will be the same in any other part of the country.

I installed my HIDs...OMG...it is like driving during the day...I aim them a bit low but have not received any flushing back to me..I do have projectors and cut off line is just perfect...will post some pics...raining tonight

I just did HID conversion on the civic 6000k and there nuts altho some ppl think u have ur highbeams on and they flash u!! lol gets annoying

[tuppelo]

It is pointless putting HIDs without projectors...Noone flashed me as I had a nice cutoff line and as well point them a bit lower that normally..I might change current setting as the time goes by...will see reactions on those setup first..it is freezing outside and raining again...will try to take some pics tomorrow.

No questions there but what I was thinking is that you will be picked up by much easier...I agree with you...my High beams are not 10% of what my HID are now I am still afraid to aim them a bit higher...they are aiming a bit lower than what a normal standard lights are but it is like daylight

dumb question, but how do you adjust the aim of your lights ?

look behind your headlights and you should have 2 screws...one for moving it up or down and one for moving it left or right..park your car against the wall and do adjustments....hope it helps

i live in cabra and almost everyone has HIDs so they don't even bother to flash anymore I've hid my balasts also just in case.

Also in the case of melting the housing, in hondas there seems to be enough space in the housing. Rem its only 35ws compared with the 55/60w headlights and the 100w bulbs!

i've seen the 100w bulbs stuff up headlights though

stay out of western sydney then my friend

There's many reasons why I choose not to live in Douche-ney

I don't live in the city, i live about an hour out of it ?

I live in a moderately sized country town.
