Hey guys, Questions for those with an Aus-Spec, do your low beams stay on when you engage your highs? New RTA requirement is that lows stay on with your highs. Defectable and pink-slip failure. If I can prove that the Australian delivered model does not have this feature than I'm fine.
Would the ADR's of the time when the vehicle was manufactured over-ride such new requirements? Thinking of similar examples of cats on cars that were not fitted with them, or seatbelts in old vintage cars (unmodified), etc...
Certainly less trouble than your haunted engine bay. Is it even possible to keep an engine alive in there?! :rofl:
Lows do switch of, most cars have this, and all cars with h4 globes the lows switch of when you flick the highs.
Its very easy to change them so the lows stay on anyway.. i did it when i fitted hid's. all you need to do is use the factory positive wire to the golbe an then earth the globe direct to the body, if you use the earth in the factory loom they will dip when the high beam is on (on the jap model that is)
Well that's the complicated way, but yeah...similar idea. You just need to ground out the low beam terminal on the switching relay so it's always on once the relays powered.
It would be extremely dangerous to use HID's without this mod. After the initial flash, there is next to no output from the HID's for the first (not so few) seconds
