Sturtles 6th Gear October 3, 2015 Share October 3, 2015 Few friends just tio tp stop. Pole light led = $100 HID = $100 Reverse Light led = $100 Write in all useless and suck thump paid up fine..... Beware bros Does not make sense... From One-Motoring, http://www.onemotoring.com.sg/publish/onemotoring/en/lta_information_guidelines/modifications_and_vehoffences/modification_guide/modification_not_allowed.html Head lamps (e.g. aftermarket High Intensity Discharge (HID) lamp kits, high wattage bulbs, etc.) Vehicles should only be fitted with factory fitted HID lamps as they are designed to meet internationally recognised standards. Aftermarket HID lamp kits retrofitted into existing headlamps may cause unwanted glare when used. Therefore, installation of these kits are not allowed. Replacement bulbs must be of a design recommended by the vehicle manufacturer. Using a higher wattage bulb may increase the risk of fire because of a greater current being drawn to power these lamps. Therefore, these types of bulbs are not allowed. It refers to Head lamps, and more specifically, HIDs and higher wattage bulbs. LED pole lights draw lower wattage, and reverse light/tail cluster are not even mentioned LTA enforcers sometimes look like they are using a rooster tail as a sword... ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optramagnum 6th Gear December 15, 2015 Share December 15, 2015 I tot sg road are lit up quite decently. Headlights is more to let other driver spot you.. Unless you wanna admire it before driving off everyday. :) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahgong Supercharged December 16, 2015 Share December 16, 2015 not worth the risk lah.... scare car catch fire and lta rider rides beside you..... if your car does not come with projector lens, you are blinding the car in front of you. i am not looking for aesthetics purposes. i am really looking for bulbs that brighter than stock so that the NSHW is better lit as i prefer to drive nights due to the lower traffic. the stock bulbs are really crappy. no need to be HID. what would be a good recommended alternative to brigher-than-stock bulbs without breaking the law?

Aftermarket HID lamp kits retrofitted into existing headlamps may cause unwanted glare when used. Therefore, installation of these kits are not allowed.

Therefore, these types of bulbs are not allowed." so the only avenue is to check the manufacturer for a recommended wattage.. otherwise it's always a risk of getting caught (though many have chosen to hiong it) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't you simply switch out for one of those brighter bulbs? Such as Phillips X-Treme Vision or Osram Nightbreaker? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahgong Supercharged December 18, 2015 Share December 18, 2015 ok. confession. first time looking into bulb replacement.so asking noobie questions. rather talk to people who have experience then be conned by shops to install something illegal or that would void my insurance. Can't you simply switch out for one of those brighter bulbs? Such as Phillips X-Treme Vision or Osram Nightbreaker? Will take a look at that two brands! Thanks Bro!

Genes 6th Gear December 18, 2015 Share December 18, 2015 Many different types of connectors and bulbs. Search out for your own make/model first, then see what options are there. There are differences even within your 1 light cluster. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrGlass Clutched December 20, 2015 Share December 20, 2015 If you are diying hid setup, do note to place the ballast in a position whereby no water will come contact with it. Many ballast spoilt because of contact with water. And if you are drilling a hole on the rear light cover for the round wire rubber, just drill it to the right size till the round rubber can squeeze in. Do not over drill it if not you might risk having vapor attack on your light. Lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeNg_162815 Neutral Newbie April 19, 2016 Share April 19, 2016 Does this HID approve for LTA when bringing to check-up? Was thinking of changing one as well but afraid LTA will fail my check-up Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamburger Hypersonic April 19, 2016 Share April 19, 2016 Does this HID approve for LTA when bringing to check-up? Was thinking of changing one as well but afraid LTA will fail my check-up question is, is your headlight assembly using projector lens? If no, do everyone a favour and drop the idea. anyway, once inspector see the aftermarket ballast, failed.... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
