installed taiwan faked bi-xenon headlamps

[715]

Adjusting the height does nothing useful in regards to the dangers. Lights are designed specifically for LHD and RHD cars, the reflectors and bowls inside are only for either LHD or RHD, in order to make your LHD lights work properly in a RHD country is to completely remove the insides and replace them with the correct HD lighting equipment.

 

Agree! Safety > Swee-ness IMHO

 

dun have right or not right la... to be fair to them, we wan nice, they wan make money also... majority of market taiwan lamps also LHD... vendors bring in but never point gun at us force us buy ma....

 

so we wan nice we buy lor.. if safety is the concern then we dun buy lor. we got a choice ma right bro?

 

dun have right and no right la.. kk?

 

I said that it is wrong to sell because vendors should not be selling lights that are blinding to other road users. What's the point of having swee swee lights but it is a road hazard?

 

Moreover, it is lagi wrong to sell without informing customer before purchase that the lights are LHD and alignment will not be suitable for SG. If customer die die ai swee mai mia then it is not the seller's fault. But if one is socially responsible, he should not bring in such 'incorrect' products in the first place.

 

 If Singapore is also LHD then nothing to worry about. From 715's post it sounded like SG was RHD hence my post about the dangers of the wrongly designed lights for the wrong country.

 

Yes bro. SG is definitely RHD!

 

My 2 cents worth

[Knightmare69]

Anyway Taiwan and china are LHD also ma

I think they do mainly for their market

 

 

Yes bro. SG is definitely RHD!

 

 

Then the quoted post above yours is useless. If SG is RHD then LHD lights are truly a danger no matter how pretty they may look.

 

Quoted from MBWorld.org

"The difference is that the beam pattern is different.

RHD: \__\__

LHD: __/__/

The consequences are that you will blind others driving on the opposite side of the road and that road signs will be harder to read. No adjustment can correct this."

 

Here is a link to search results that all specifiy the same conclusion

Just had mine done yesterday, took him 5 days to figure it out. The beams are much higher and I can finally see the road signs. He managed to make the left beam higher for RHD cars. It's still at a trial and error period, I'll be going back to him to make some final adjustments. Overall, very satisfied and should be flying down NSH soon!

 

now this gets me abit more excited already.. bro remember to update us or better still provide pictures after adjustments!

ah boon is very poisonous... lol

Making money vs social responsibilities

 

Beauty vs safety

 

Must know how to balance them well.

Managed to do a video, side by side comparison with a factory fitted ILS. Will post it up later tonight.

Hey guys for this I went to do a search about it. Just realise that to make it rhd is to flip the inside metal pcs that looks like a ____/ to \___? It was show on a bemmier forum. Its a tedious process cause you have to rip out the projector to do it.

Yes, that's pretty much what you need to do.

If ah boon can do it, it will be awesome

Video file is too big to be uploaded, have not had the time to shrink it. Photos will do for now.

 

Original ILS on W204 FL

 

Aftermarket ILS on W204 FL

 

Do bear in mind, both cars are not parallel straight, this isn't a scientific experiment. No measurements etc. was made. Just happened to have a friend with ILS parked one lot away from me so decided to capture the shot.

 

All I wanted was for my beams to match up with the original headlights, to light up and allow me to see the road ahead clearly. Height of both beams are almost identical on the wall. Pretty satisfied now, way better compared to the original beam height and penetration. Still gotta go back to get the lights adjusted properly for LHD.

That's because my bulbs have been upgraded to 6000k bulbs. Originals come with 4300k.

Any bros recently did an install of these replicas? Wondering if the recent shipments are RHD, appreciate if any bros can feedback.

yes and yes!

Sorry to ask stupid question.

Am keen on this but would like to know whether it will passed inspection?

[MarkCWQ]

By right, it's a non-compliant aftermarket modification so won't pass inspection. By left, I went for my inspection and pass. So it probably boils down to individual luck. Worst case scenario if fail, just swap back original headlights and go for inspection again.
