There are 2 things to consider here. Firstly - do they comply with the relevant Australian Design Rules? Just be cause some guy has them in his car for 5 years without being booked is not grounds to claim compliance. Secondly, do you have any consideration for the poor guy coming back the other way getting dazzled by your uber cool headlights?

$35 a pair. so much better than the old ones. still only 55/60. upgraded the parkers and the high beam bulbs as well due to the others looking horrid against the white ones

whats wrong of trying too put your old car into the 21st century.
the cop and there old rules , all around the world cars are allowed to use these bulbs and aftermarket Xenon and only the aussie gov. has a problem with them.
they give more light and there for more safety on the road.
but thats aussie gov. for ya they allways try to invent the wheel again....

just put them in your car....... i did

Check out the lighting system on the car. Are the headlight lenses genuine items or has it been smashed at some stage and replaced with cheap after market ones??? Also, for the last 10 - 15 years headlight lenses have been progressively changed over to plastic. Many of the older types are going milky or yellow which significantly effects performance.
