Picture of the headlight please. There are two different headlight types. One with HID and one regular. The genuine HID units came with an adjustment switch in the cabin, have circular park light (looks like a golfball) and have the word XENON in the headlight housing.

Yes your car came with HID headlights from factory. Unfortunately, they are not ADR compliant and you'll have to convert to halogen or change your headlights to halogen to pass.

If you have factory HID, tough luck man, it sucks but that's the way Australia is. I would source a pair of halogen housings to pass it.

If you have halogen headlights and put a fully sick 6000K-10000K cheap HID kit in, you deserve the defect.

Is there some sort of conversion required to switch from factory Xenon to Halogen?

What about the factory Xenon booster thingy that sits behind the bulb?

My GTT still has the factory setup. I dont want to butcher it too much. I am after a plug & play swap over.

Or what if I get those projector headlight setups? If the HID is housed in the projector, will that be "legal"?

not sure if i'm misundersatnding you but by definition, the HID (in a projector headlight setup) is inside the glass bulb anyway - legality would be concerning the retrofit (not sure on the laws about this), rather than where the HID is (as that's a moot point)

The issue i think is to have HIDs in a car in aust they need to be self leveling and possibly have healight washers fitted to, something random like that. you can get them complied but it would never be worth it.

I have in my hand the compliance for a personally imported cars and it states that headlights need to have a dipping funticion. Doesn't say they need to be self aligning or cleaning or anything of the sort. That is for personally imported cars, which mine is.. Yay ;)

    • Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.
    • That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!
    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
    • You just gotta be really, really, really clear and decisive with what you want your end product to be. 99% of people who want this conversion aren't "I want to run a 295 front tyre!" so they don't really need the widebody. They just want the OEM body to look a little less dumpy, so bonnet, bar, skirts job done with some camber, stretch, slam. It's when you want that, but then decide to pivot later you get big problems. See also if you're willing to get an all in one fibreglass bar, and you're willing to accept fibreglass problems like cracking the entire item on a driveway, instead of just a piece attached to the bottom, etc etc etc. Decide this all before buyin'.
