Self leveling headlights?? Can this be done?

It's projectors you need if you want to run HIDs isn't it? Doesn't have to be self-levelling if you've aimed them correctly (which should be done if you retrofit projectors properly).

The ADRs clearly state that gas high intensity discharge lighting is only legal on passenger vehicles if used with an auto-levelling system. The whole point of this system is that you don't end up with a static setting, but rather one that adjusts based on the attitude of the car - when your nose is up in the air, the headlights will dip, and vice versa). This is to stop the HIDs from dazzling drivers of cars in front of you (either facing you or travelling the same direction) as a car moves over varying road surface gradients.

And yes, HIDs should also be used only in projector housings, and NOT in standard reflectors.

Most minor mods are illegal. Just do it properly, don't drive like a twat and the cops will leave you alone, dude.

Most minor mods are illegal.

But rarely for as good a reason as retrofitting HIDs to reflector housings with no auto-levelling is illegal.

And doing this makes your car stand out like dog's balls, and if you're already known to and being targeted by the local constabulary, this will just be another book they can throw at you...

Exactly right, If you don't do anything stupid you will not have a issue!

Well, that's my point entirely. If you don't give them a reason, you won't have a problem.

Ok so to run HID's your meant ot have self-levelling, headlight washers and correct lenses.

I am running in stock housings a cheap **** 4300k kit and absolutely love them, so much brighter, **** all over halogens IMO, maybe some good ones would be different, who knows

Just my 2c, i've been pulled over plenty of times as a p-plater and with a neater looking car you dont have much to worry about in terms of defects.
