R34, Headlights

[satanic]

WA could be different to NSW laws... and you must remember that they are just LIGHTS!!! It is not going to kill anyone nor pollute the environment in anyway.

Yeah i totally agree

But theres nothing we can do

[satanic]

Are the laws regarding import cars and illegal parts that strict in WA? Surely a set of lights won't be looked upon as something too punishable ~

the sad part is there are rusted out bombs that are blowing smoke getting around yet the coppers will pick on someone who puts better lights in their car so that they can see better at night.

I think that our regulations governing roadworthiness leave a lot to be desired. It seems that Lately all that the coppers are targetting is japanese imports.

But ah well that wont scare me out of making my car the way i want it as long as it is not a danger to me or anyone else.

Satanic, I do understand your statement of "you must remember that they are just LIGHTS!!! It is not going to kill anyone nor pollute the environment in anyway.", but it doesn't matter what state your in with the compliancing rules for any car. The RAWS have to follow these compliancing guidelines/rules to make sure the cars (in this case R34's) meet the ADR's.

In the case of the xenon's in the R34's, RAWS have to remove and dispose of the xenon units, then show proof of removal and disposal of those units with pics or a full inspection. I'm in Qld and the story of removing the xenon units is the same.

So where did you get your xenon units for your car Satanic?

svd164, I didn't know that it was a uniform rule throughout Australia.

I got the xenons on my car from the place where I got the car... the way I got them was the same as the way I told everyone above: by going to a car importer that does their own compliancing (add a little cash incentive, and then a direct swap with an un-complied car). I won't post who did it, but yeah basic concept.

The only way they could tell if every single xenon unit was destroyed would be to take down serial numbers which I don't think the units have.

This RAWS thing to me is a little bit flawed... but I'm still learning, maybe there is a legitimate reason why they have to do it.
