What happens with cars which have Xenons as standard but no washer jet system/ Self level for them? Likes of Accord Type R's etc?
http://www.reallymeansounds.com/forum/threads/are-aftermarket-hids-illegal-now.130250/page-2 Hey Jas, not sure if you seen this other thread, it has some chat RE standard fit Xenons, without the new tech. Hope that helps a bit for now
Doesnt make any sense, there are thousands of cars on the road without washer jet systems and xenons from the factory!
Yeah my thoughts also, think the old clio 182? has the xenons, friend owns one, but only was washer jets, doesnt have projector lenses iirc, and i doubt it has leveling system. Its going to be a sketchy rule, but ive MOT end of this month, going to enquire a bout it, need to ask about the small sunstrip also. :/
I'm sure they'll know which cars come standard with xenons but lack washers/self levelling. I'm all for this clamp down, I'm sick of stupid cheap HID kits blinding me.
No doubt though they will remove for mot and refit afterwards, same as people raising their car as they are too low or removing front tinted windows, be interesting to see how it will work out IMO it will prob be any car retro fitted.
I know i'll be removing mine for the MOT, and re-fitting, personally dont see an issue with mine, projector lense with a very definitive beam pattern
Me too, im sick of seeing 306's etc blinding me, but for people with proper Xenons and lacking the other, its going to be a pain
Yeah I appreciate that, it's definitely going to shaft those who have had proper kits fitted and aligned correctly, but we always knew this day would eventually arrive. More people have bad kits than good kits though. Any joy with finding a nice 5, Jas?
Yea but im not really on about cars with retrofitted HID kits, more so cars with factory Xenons No I gave up on finding one all mega miles over here or really rough condition, could only find 1 car in England and was working out a price for it and the guy never got back to me, chased him further said a deposit was taken in the time between, so that was nice of him!
"May" and "Benefit of the doubt" In otherwords up to the testers gumption! Where did this document come from btw? Is there a section on cats?
Same question here. Would be clearer if you could use your retro fit xenons to help read it... Cheers @Doovde, very helpful
Why save that pic on your phone, that is not the DVA testers manual, the only up to date manual for DVA is online How many threads are we really going to have about this??
I believe its a question that needs to be asked, and therefore can have as many threads as it likes. This is not discussing all the rules as a whole, its only discussing one.
