Lights

[Mydotcom]

I saw a couple of white xeon light bulbs in a car accessories shop. Thinking of changing my headlights to that Its legal rite? How do I know which bulb model to get for my Y2K Accent?

 

Also, the interior cabin lights can be changed too (DIY) rite? I feel like changing to blue lights, how to DIY the change and what bulb model should i get to fit in my accent?

can check at onemotoring site...

 

colored interior lights not allowed on paper too..

however IMO, they cant fault you, if its not turned on (or obvious) when moving on the road..

Are you referring to those real xeon light bulbs (H.I.D) like this : http://www.autolamps-online.com/products/d2centre.htm, that also will come with balast, or those that claim to give you xeon light effect, usually tint blue bulbs .

 

If replacing to after market H.I.D. (High Intensity Discharge) or Xeon lights than it's illegal Those 'whiter' xenon effect are actually blue tinted bulbs, though looks whiter but then the throw of the light is much lesser than stock so it's still illegal.

 

If you want to go for whiter bulbs but are also legal, you'll need to buy Philips Blue Vision which is also white in color but also brighter, like this : http://www.autolamps-online.com/halogen/bvcentre.htm
