Do you know if for the Civic FD2 if I change to an aftermarket bulb, eg. a 6000k or 8000k bulb, is it consider illegal to LTA?

 

I had changed my HID from stock to 6000K and it pass the inspection. Should be legal.

many things are illegal and I won't be surprised that lots of cars on the road nowadays carrues illegal mod in some way or other... at the end of the day it really depends on your luck.

 

Be prepared to be fined if you want to do illegal mod. I got friend kena fined for just one illegal mod and got many friends got away even with many many illegal mods.

Only 4000K? It is still quite orange then. The color temperature for normal tungsten light is about 3200K already. Normal daylight (D65) is about 6500K. It is with UV so is a little bluish. I think a color temperature of 5000K to 6000K should be reasonably considered white.

Read this from onemotoring : http://www.onemotoring.com.sg/publish/onem..._headlamps.html

 

Philips has a few type of lights being advertised on LTA website too, so i suppose they are legal. Diamond vision isnt listed though.

 

Regarding lamps : "Vehicles should only be fitted with factory fitted HID lamps as

they are designed to meet internationally recognised standards.

Aftermarket HID lamp kits retrofitted into existing headlamps

may cause unwanted glare when used. Therefore, installation of

these kits are not allowed.

Replacement bulbs must be of a design recommended by the

vehicle manufacturer. Using a higher wattage bulb may increase

the risk of fire because of a greater current being drawn to power

these lamps. Therefore, these types of bulbs are not allowed."
