That would hurt... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AMHO93 Guests Posted 27/12/02 01:10 PM Share Posted 27/12/02 01:10 PM I had to get an XR light for my EB Moffat anf Ford spare parts said 550 and I got one second hand for 115 so either way 1100 or 230 is still too much to come out of my pocket .....Cheers to Honda :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The globes are not the "ricer" blue or purple you are thinking about. OK, sounds like they may be different. I'll allow that.However, if the globe you bought has a blue tip it is still illegal. I would be very surprised if they are exactly as for a BMW or MB as those vehicles have to comply with the same ADRs as our own vehicles.Does it say on the packaging that the globe complies with ADRs? If not, then it most likely doesn't, and that is probably the true reason why they were not fitted to your XR6T in the factory.Apart from "blue" lights the other real bugbear I have is with drivers who deliberately raise their headlight adjustment for better vision - OK for them but what about the poor bugger coming towards them with his own lights adjusted correctly down onto the road? Simple. He can't see - "oh well, no matter, just as long as one of us can it'll be allright mate!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simple. He can't see. I hate that too mate.. thats something that really annoys me!Had a look at the packaging nothing about ADR. Not sure why though.. I might ring Philips Australia and ask.. im curious to know why they are not.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
