Majordan 2nd Gear April 14, 2011 Share April 14, 2011 actually catching after market DRL makes no sense. if DRL is hazardous, then they should stop Audi and Merc from installing in stock models if audi and merc can use DRL, what's wrong with installing for all cars? its like catching wing spoilers on cars... only wrx and evo can have stock spoilers.... rubbish ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelsea901 1st Gear April 15, 2011 Share April 15, 2011 what do you plan to write in your appeal letter? Im always amaze by how the TP can differentiate which DRL comes stock and which are after market. their knowledge of cars must be damn good wow, so means that those car fans can submit a resume to the tp hq?

Phluvcat 6th Gear April 16, 2011 Share April 16, 2011 Been seeing so many car installing LED lights. Personally I find it ugly than cool in most cases. Wondering anybody has the same feeling ? it is very subjective and if done wrong, it actually looks distasteful. most often then not, add-on LED does not look good as it does not integrate with the design of the car (unless come with original model). anyway, to each his own, diff ppl diff preference as long as dun affect me or blind me its ok. I can luff about how grotesque some one else's car looks just like others can say how lao ah pek my car looks. [laugh] Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunder7890 Neutral Newbie April 16, 2011 Share April 16, 2011 Yes, one of my friend also caught for installed led day lights after market type mounted to his front bumper. The fine was $100. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jefkking Clutched April 16, 2011 Share April 16, 2011 LED lights (Regardless of day running lights or under-cariage LED light) installation were illegal anway and nothing could be appeal ! Illegal emans illegal. (Pl visit LTA website for illegal mods for more info) If TP / LTA don't' take action now, (As it's getting popular installed even on commercial vehicles, motorbikes etc), it's a road hazard to other motorists due to the bight glazing even at day time (Anyway, travellling on roads in SIN was so bright enough unlike european country having foggy and 4 seasons, so what's the point of spending monies deco your cars / wheels and get fine, then pay for labour for removal of illegal installaiton & send your car / tpt go for inspection and foot the summon ?? ($ + $ + $ + $ + $ = 5$) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elviskoh Neutral Newbie April 16, 2011 Share April 16, 2011 heard mcw3ll says this is LTA approved.... http://racingstyle.wordpress.com/audi-styl...eadlight-civic/ Audi became the first manufacturer to feature peripheral white LEDs as daytime running lights, first on the Audi A8 W12 in 2004 and then on the Audi S6, Audi R8 and Audi A5/S5 from 2006. R8 also the first car in the world to be equipped with all-LED headlamps. http://www.sgcarmart.com/news/article.php?AID=1674 But those copy the 'Audi style' LED DRL, ie cheap and bling-bling... ugly Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some r done in a way to dazzle or blind on-coming drivers so become illegal. Same problem with fog lights, HID etc. Some pple put led's all over till distract other motorists at night. So its easier to ban all after-market lights than to dispute with pple who's lights r distracting n whose r not. If they were done properly from the start, I doubt LTA wil bother. Its those clowns who cause all the trouble. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some r plain silly, just like their owners. Might even cause the car to become unstable at higher speeds. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pisces69 6th Gear April 16, 2011 Share April 16, 2011 bulllshit la.. they just want all cars on the road to be bone stock. zzz I remember long ago the 1st Celica very nice n sporty car. Then the bengs got hold of it n put wide tyres on, especially the rear. Then the next beng see n dont want to lose out so he put wider tyres on. And it went on so forth. Till after a few years u can see Celicas with super wide tyres on n their handling was destroyed n many skidded n crashed. This is just 1 example of why after-market things r banned. So lets blame the clowns who do things without knowing what the hell ty r doing n endanger all other road-users. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron_soh80 1st Gear April 16, 2011 Share April 16, 2011 If wana install LED..install inside the car better.. anything outside our car is not belong to us.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jefkking Clutched April 16, 2011 Share April 16, 2011 (edited) Aaron, installation fo LED / DRL in cabin is also an offence as it'll affect the visibilityand judgement of the driver and indirectly distrct other mototrists as well. If installed in your cabin, you'll be fine if spoted by TP / LTA & vehicle need to send for inspection & foot the inspection fees as well. Think twice !! (Pay$ for the supply & installation + fine $ + pay $ for inspection feess + wastage of times $$ = 5 x $ !! Edited April 16, 2011 by Jefkking Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
