Headlight Bulb Legality Question...

Postby DTGriff » Fri Nov 30, 2012 11:58 am

Hi Guys,

I'm about the purchase H11, HB3 & HB4 bulbs from somewhere in Clayton.

They are Phillips Crystal Vision 4300K.

Are they legal with stock headlights?

They seller is being really shifty and keeps dodging the question.

I really could do without being pulled over every night.

Been quoted $165.00 for all 3 sets.

Cheers

Yeah 4300k is a long way from being blue. They'll be fine :)

Do they have an E mark symbol on them?

It's simple, all bulbs that are legal will have, for example (E4) stamped into the housing, it will be a circle with the E4 inside it, it can be E6 E13 etc.

Even though Philips is a reputable brand, even they make some bulb models that are not e mark. Just check on the package. Usually it will say something like "For off-road use only" or something to that effect.

I agree with CJVRX it definitely the 'blueness' of the light that will get the wrong attention.

As a FYI if you go down the track of getting HID's later on. There are the rules about installing them:
You can legally fit HID headlights IF
1. The headlight assembly is specifically designed for HID lamps and is ADR approved as such.
There are other rules but this point is where everyone gets in trouble- well i did when i had a 350z roadster when the nice highway officer :twisted: wrote the rule on my defect notice :( lol

So the less-blue lights are called bluevisions? :roll:

Nobody is going to get in trouble for 4300k bulbs, they won't be blue at all...

Well I think havig white lights will be better to havem I have 4350 kelvin rating on my lights. To be all clear from the police, just stick to having bulbs with a white display. not any other colour.
They will learn... I will always be a step ahead
