    Yes.
    The anti hoon policy. Remember VSI 50 aimed at hoons with lowered cars but would have caught out off road mods?

    If you have fitted them and they don't like it you will get a defect notice.

    NSW police and RMS are loking for lowered cars with tinted windows and loud exhausts.
    Uh Oh

    Jon - I'll provide more detail later if you wish.

    Proof is available that contradicts that statement


    Good quality driving lights... With HID inserts are very good.. ..OK...

    Great quality driving lights are exceptional...


    Now I ask you this question...

    Lower Current draw matters why?

    Lets see what the consensus is on the above statement...

    AND, keep in mind, what mattered to a vehicle with a 50A alternator from years gone buy is a little different to ones now running up to 200A (depending on make and model).

    People entering this part of the discussion - please include...

    1) How many lights you run
    2) Type and Wattage

    cheers

    Vic- Fog and driving lights

    Fog & driving lights : VicRoads

    Doesn't seem to say anything much about the hight of the lights or cover LED, HID or other types. I have a great LED light bar ontop as well. I do not use the LED bar on road as I find the HID are more than enough.

    There is NO way my LED bar on my roof rack and Highbeam HID lights would be on at probebly twice the 200 metre rule. The oncoming driver would be blinded or have significant vision loss with any D3 or D4 HID highbeam at 200m; With a closing speed of 200 kph a blinded driver coming past us a few seconds after dipping our lights at the VIC regulations of 200metres sounds dangerous to me.

    To lower the load on the alternator. Pretty simple.

    Again I will ask... Why?

    Its a device capable of providing rated output.

    Whats your reasoning for molly-coddeling an alternator?

    In the past I have had alternators not capable of keeping up with the electrical load, requireing replacement with higher rated units.

    Secondly, just because it is rated at a certain output doesn't mean you should run it at 100% output. Doing so is certain to shorten it's service life.
