KKtrips Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 With headlights they have to have the appropriate Standards marking on the glass. Also check that they dip to the left. LHD cars headlights will dip to the right so you may want to be sure of that if the Standards markings are present. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kyteler Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 You want your vehicle to look as though it has some chintzy/tinselly/cubic zirconia/bedazzled spider eyes? They yuck bro. Step back from the headlamps. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyingbrick Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Those are the same as the ones on Ali that are marked as legal. Unsure about how critical the dip angle thing is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yowzer Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Had a Mustang come in for a cert with those, it was a bit of a fuckaround trying to get confirmation of legality and I think the owner ended up fitting regular headlamps for cert / WOF or whatever it was. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllTorque Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Dip angle is only critical if you want a wof. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cletus Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 lights have a bit of a loophole, if lights are modified at a cert inspection, then we have to check they have a relevant standard on them. Â however at a wof inspection, they only have to comply with the requirements of the virm- which doesnt include checking for a standard marking. Â so we get quite a few cars that fail on lights with no std, they put stock ones in, get cert, put lights with no standards on again, get wofs 4 eva 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cletus Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Hey Clint,  Just wondering if these would be certifiable? http://www.gktech.com/index.php/s14-s15-40mm-roll-center-correction-kit.html  Cheers would probably need TAC approval.

cletus Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 clint, I'm sure this has been covered in this thread a zillion times, but 200 pages is to much Captive Cut springs for cert? yes no maybe? only if the original spring seat was designed to fit a spring with an unformed end, ie the spring end isnt shaped so its flatter.  ie  if the spring looks like this you could cut it  but if its like this, then NEIN NEIN NEIN  5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
