Inspection - Enquiry & Advice

[Huggable]

Yeah, headlight beam angle is a non-critical inspection item. But the inspection centre can chose to fail you bike if the bulb used is not LTA compliant.

It does not make sense right ??? Firstly - ralliart_ray using a Phillip diamond vision bulb (some riders in this forum swear by Phillips, even if they are damm expensive) can fail then where is the standard ( LTA compliant ) to pass can be found. Unless he is using a cheap imitation or the light beam distorted.

So if headlight beam angle is a non-critical inspection criteria, then y test at all ?? There must be more to it than meets the eye !!!!

Just to clear the air...

 

Most vehicle tat go for inspection doesn't pass the headlight test. Same goes for bikes. Even if you buy a new car or bike straight out of the showroom and go for inspection, chances are you will still fail the headlight test. But tat does not mean you fail the test.

 

You can only fail the test if :

 

1. You are using white light bulb. (diamond vision included)

2. You are using HID

3. Your headlight is not working.

 

So guys, put back the original bulb ( light yellow colour ) before you go for inspection.

ed12772, still no make sense leiii I stated wrongly - ralliart_ray did use a light yellow colour bulb, but maybe he did not use the original Honda. BTW original Honda bulb is also the common Phillip clear lens Halogen not the more expensive type.

[ralliart_ray]

I didnt dont have the orginal yellow light... But I use yellow light bulb I found in my store... Still fail, maybe that causes that?

sorry i thought white light is now allow according to the web site. http://www.onemotoring.com.sg/publish/onem..._headlamps.html

 

Qn: Are halogen bulbs that produce whiter light allowed?

 

Ans: Besides HID headlamps, halogen bulbs that produce whiter light are also allowed. These bulbs are designed to filter out the yellowish spectrum, hence emitting a whiter light that helps the motorists to see what's ahead at night.

 

However, vehicle owners are advised not to use bulbs that exceed the recommended wattage rating by the vehicle manufacturer. They should also ensure that headlamps are properly aligned after replacing the bulbs to prevent glare that might distract other road users.

it fail as the angle of the light is not at the point of where it is suppose to be. if u notice it measure the light input to the sensor and it is fix there. why fail and they still allow is because they also lazy to change the adjustment of suit the bike dimension. that y end of day still pass even u fail the light test.

[moccajava]

Yes the failure is because the light beam is not in line to the height where the sensor is... they're more keen to see whether its working and no mods to it... dun think they care if ur angle beams at the car's rear view mirror lah...

[limbat]

veri veri interesting nehhh....anyway never mind laaa fail also can ride right ??? Anyone from LTA care to reply ??

if im not wrong.. with a valid insurance of more than 6mth, u can renew your road tax on the spot for a 6mth road tax.

 

if insurance is less than 6mth, u need to contact your insurance company and highlight to them that your road tax is going to due and need to extend your insurance for the road tax.

 

generally the insurance company can extend for you to the expiry of the new 6mth road tax with some pro-rated premiums.

 

as for your inspection notice if its due on the 25/9/05, u might 1 2 contact the inspection ctr if they can do the inspection for you without the letter of notice else ask if can get a duplicated notice.
