LTA says on their website:

 

Head lamps

(e.g. aftermarket High Intensity Discharge (HID) lamp kits, high wattage bulbs, etc.)

 

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.

nothing's really legal here unless it's oem, spec by manufacturer or officially approved by lta.

dat means big bore carb, de-restriction of exhaust, and many many other tune up or other upgrade components illegal on rd.

hid if fitted and adjusted to lower the headlights properly to the road dun make it any more glaring than a properly adjusted halogen filament bulb. it juz produces much much more light output for a much smaller power consumption. it's 35w vs 55w for oem low beam bulb.

and installing hid's entirely at ur own risk, heard got a s4 kanna caught and fined $500 for its hid installation. and if u take a closer look at cars on rd, out of 5 cars, 3 had hid installed, whether oem or aftermarket.

oem hid normally uses lower kevin rating(looks more yellow) while after market hids higher kevin ratings are more preferred, giving a whiter light. some drivers oso dun have the courtesy to adjust the headlight, thus giving other rd users the high beam glare even though the hid is in its low beam mode.

i'm using 5000k, abit yellowish white and will be changing to a 7000k, super white sometimes later. to really see the full benefits of hid, 2nd link @nite really shows its worth!

most of the aftermarket so called "hid" or "xenon" filament bulbs, including the more well known philips diamond vision plus & piaa series bulbs, actually uses xenon instead of halogen/argon as an inert gas to produce a whiter light. the glass is further tinted to give a even whiter light, at the expense of lower light output.

wads misleading on the labels is dat it claimed 55/60w >>> 100/110w.

wad it's trying to say is dat these bulbs are having the same light output of a 100/110w bulb even though it consumes 55/60w of power.

ppl were misleaded into thinking these consumes 100/110w of power or gave out 100/110w of light output(light output are rated in lumens instead of watt).

because 55w for low beam ratings & 60w for high beam ratings are pretty much standard for automobiles' headlamps(unless is for aux lighting systems), changing to aftermarket bulbs wun strain the electrical system, instead it referred to other 2b bikes like nsr150, which i think uses 20/20w bulb. changing to 55/60w bulb will melt the wire harness and possibly catching a fire.

weee... type so much liao haha... but i hope more ppl can understand the way the bulbs are rated & worked, koz i'm a light fanatic! hehe...

looking at a dual hid h4(hid low/ hid high) over my current hid h4(hid low/filament high) at the expense of an additional ballast, relay, fuse case plus plenty of wires & soldering!

Dannis i will be going too but i dont know where. wa hahahaha.

If you mean you want to go to the Simpang Bedok meetup tomorrow but don't know to get there - you can take PIE (Changi Airport), exit at Simei heading East in the direction of ECP, and turn right at the first right turn, which will lead you past a firestation on your right. Keep going straight, and turn left eventually at Simpang Bedok.

i got it from this guy name winthur in the sbf...aiyo..81331775 his hp...

 

but bear in mind that the price he quoted me is base on my on custom design so basically must aga aga the price ard there...aight...

[eyz]

his name forum user?? did ya see the rs250 with the mohawk airbrush when we were at KKFC the othe day??

 

400 for an airbrush sounds dodgey..

 

i'm sure ya dun wanna destroy ya stock paintwork which is far more valuable than a resprayed fairing..

[zeke uchiha]

guys i tink u misunderstood me..i'm just spraying my side fairings and rim...thats all..not the whole bike..furthermore it's my own design so thats how i got it at tt price...i realize stock design is better but i guess i'm always the ugly duckling in any group.. i just want to have my bike diff from the rest of the shipped-in 49 units over here..

Update on Aprilia Club shirt.

 

Good news and bad news. OK, good news first.

 

Good News!

 

Printing for the short-sleeved polo tees have commenced. They should be ready by Sat or Sun.

 

Bad News... sigh...

 

I regret to inform those people who ordered long-sleeved tees that the order will be delayed till next week. So your long-sleeved tees will be ready only by next Fri or Sat.

 

Decision Time!

 

Does the Short-sleeved People want to collect their tees before the Long-sleeved People?

Or wait till all tees are ready before collection, so that the Long-sleeved People wont feel left out since they can only collect and wear their tees a week after the Shorties?

 

You decide.....
