BengGaBoy 2nd Gear December 11, 2014 Share December 11, 2014 Hi folks, Today went to Viacom for inspection and failed. As I'm the 2nd owner, thus, I wasn't aware what did the previous owner did. Anyway, he has changed the front headlight to HID and LEDs for the rear and front-small light. So Viacom failed all the lighting related test section. So do any folks have any workshop who is expert in this area and help me to get my car back to compliance ? I only afraid some workshop assume this and that, end-up, I fail again and have to re-do all over again. Worse, my road tax is expiring soon, so I need to get it done quickly. Many thanks !

QQDreamer 4th Gear December 11, 2014 Share December 11, 2014 changing bulb quite easy job. any workshop should be able to do it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watwheels Supersonic December 12, 2014 Share December 12, 2014 It's not difficult. Just disconnect the bulb and from the ballast, Make sure your fingers do not touch the bulb(the static will damage it) or wear rubber gloves. Find out the size of the original bulbs (eg. H4, H7, H11 etc), buy a set and put it back in. Make sure at the fuse box the correct fuse is replaced from what the previous owner is using. Usually underneath the fuse box cover all the fuse map is displayed there. Lastly remove all the HID ballast. Pole lights usually are twist and pull out or reach in to plug it out. It's usually the most easy, no gloves needed. Rear light you might need a "+" head screwdriver to remove the light assembly to take out the LEDs. You can learn a lot from Youtube. I know I did. LoL... I DIY change the headlight bulbs to legal brighter halogens and pole lights to LEDs. The rest I dun touch and leave it stock. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah. My previous car I also thought must remove front bumper and all dan I noticed I can actually just plug out the plastic wiper fluid tank and I can get access to the bulb. LoL... I know some Renault cars need to remove tire to access the wheel arc well, remove the clips and cover to get to the headlights. *Faint* Light bulb maybe cost $50 but labour cost $100. LoL... Just an example. Edited December 12, 2014 by Watwheels Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watwheels Supersonic December 12, 2014 Share December 12, 2014 it's not difficult if pnp, but ts is aftemkt hid. Anything is possible if you are determined and have the heart to do it. Ppl tell me to not do this or do that but I have gone ahead and been there & did it. Like upgrading my front speakers. I bought the speakers, mounting plates, wire harness, bought them online coz I do not want to deal with dealers and installers. Watch youtube videos on how to go about doing it. And I'm enjoying my new speakers. LoL... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BengGaBoy 2nd Gear December 12, 2014 Author Share December 12, 2014 Hi folks, Just an update, managed to go to Nightz Concept @ First Centre and get all my light back to compliance :) Finally passed my inspection and renewed my road tax liao :) Damage is around S$50 to replace front light (big and small), disable fog light (since no replacement available in store), license plate light and reverse light. The HID ballast basically still there, it's just disconnect and replace the lamp with compliance type. Thanks for help bros.
