Xenon Headlights

[Pac]

Hi guys

Juts had a quick question to ask I have got a r34gtt and I wanted to know if its worth putting a xenon lights back on...

The guy who did the conversion for compliance has still got all the parts needed... so I just wanted to know if its worth putting back on... he's going to charge me about $700-$900 depending on the time taken...

$700-$900

What a rip off. An aftermarket HID kit takes maybe 1-2 hours to hook up and test.

The HIDs, although removed for compliance, are still technically under your ownership. Get them off the compliance guy and do it yourself or get an auto electrician to fit them.

Its worth it. the converted lights that i got after compliance just dont compare to xenons.

i say do it, but price may be a bit high for someone who is putting something on the car that was original and what is really yours anyway.

[RBFIRE]

people pay 300ish to get an aftermarket xenon,

If u have it, why not.

But 700-800?

steep as price,

probly its genuine nissan thats y!

lol, they try to sell u ur items

lol...

business ppl!!!

my dealer charged me $100 labour to put them back on...which was fair enough. I have heard they generally charge between $300-$400 for a swap over to original xenons..which is not too bad as well. But your dealer is tryin to rip u off big time! Last but not least...yes, the xenons are well worth it!

f**k that. That's YOUR LIGHTS.. take them back and install yourself.

What happened to the rule that you had to prove the parts were destroyed? or doesn't that apply to the Xenons?

[Zappn]

I think the rule has recently changed.

I got mine done last october and the wires were cut in a way that they're basically destroyed but by the sounds of recent posts people are getting them completely intact.

From what Ive heard they dont destory the xenon parts anymore, they just hand it back to you after compliance.

But yeah $700 to $900 thats a joke just demand your parts back and im sure someone can do it for a few hundred. Xenones are definately worth fitting back on, makes alot of difference compared to the halogens.

It depends on how they did the conversion if you can reconvert them or not .

Usualy they cut the cable that goes to the globe inside the light, if they did that, they cant be reconverted with the orginal balast.

If the cable has not been cut ( they just cut the plug and you can still get to the cable ) it can be reconverted easy using the existing balast, plug and globe.

If you are in Sydney give me a p.m. if you like, i can do them for you for $100 if you supply the balast, plug globe and h/lights.

The problem with that guy is that he want to charge me 600 just for the parts and i know you can get them for much cheaper then that...

Put your foot down

These are YOUR parts from YOUR car.

Why the hell should he charge you money for something that's rightfully yours?

I suggest you tell him you will go to the ACCC if you don't get them back.

[Mr Italy!]

I thought it was the law for the compliance place to DESTROY the item once they had been taken off the car.

So doesnt that mean that legally they shouldnt exist, so he cant force the guy to hand over items that should have been destroyed?

If he was to go to the ACCC and they got in touch with the guy, he could just say he destroyed them like he was supposed to.... right?

Pac, i think the guy has you by the balls and there isnt much you can do about that, except to pay his greatly overpriced labour amounts.

[PHATR32]

f**k him, get em cheaper else where, and report him for trying to sell you parts he was suppose to destroy.

Rant, rave and threaten them with ACCC action? <- I'm not condoning this by the way

However if what Mr Italy! said is true and they say they threw them out as they were legally obliged to do so, then you maybe shit outta luck.

So hes trying to make money by selling the parts back to you? Thats a disgrace.
