[QUOTE="roland1888, post: 212210, member: 1095"] Found this at a certain forum in reply to Singapore banning HIDs: [B][COLOR=deepskyblue]RE: Penalty for installing aftermarket HID [/COLOR][/B] [B][COLOR=deepskyblue]FEEDBACK NUMBER: 412867 [/COLOR][/B] [B][COLOR=deepskyblue]Thank you for your feedback dated 19 Sep 2006. [/COLOR][/B] [B][COLOR=deepskyblue]2 We would like to inform you that the Land Transport Authority [/COLOR][/B] [B][COLOR=deepskyblue](LTA) requires all lamps fitted on vehicles to comply with the Road Traffic [/COLOR][/B] [B][COLOR=deepskyblue](Motor Vehicles, Lighting) Rules. The types of lamps must bear approved [/COLOR][/B] [B][COLOR=deepskyblue]markings to show that they comply with internationally recognised [/COLOR][/B] [B][COLOR=deepskyblue]standards, such as those adopted in European Union countries, Japan and [/COLOR][/B] [B][COLOR=deepskyblue]the United States. In addition, the lights must also conform to their [/COLOR][/B] [B][COLOR=deepskyblue]illuminated colour and intensity. [/COLOR][/B] [B][COLOR=deepskyblue]3 As far as we are aware, majorities of the authority world-wide do [/COLOR][/B] [B][COLOR=deepskyblue]not allow the retrofitting of the High-Intensity Discharge (HID) headlamp [/COLOR][/B] [B][COLOR=deepskyblue]system on vehicles which are not originally designed with the system. [/COLOR][/B] [B][COLOR=deepskyblue]Vehicles that are originally fitted with the HID headlamp system are [/COLOR][/B] [B][COLOR=deepskyblue]purpose built by vehicle manufacturer to ensure that they are safe. [/COLOR][/B] [B][COLOR=deepskyblue]4 Front fog lamps are auxiliary lamps, designed and manufactured to [/COLOR][/B] [B][COLOR=deepskyblue]project a less intense but more diffused light pattern. They should [/COLOR][/B] [B][COLOR=deepskyblue]only be used as a substantiate source of light beam to the headlamp during [/COLOR][/B] [B][COLOR=deepskyblue]adverse weather conditions or in occasions where visibility is very poor such [/COLOR][/B] [B][COLOR=deepskyblue]as during a heavy downpour or under hazy environments. [/COLOR][/B] [B][COLOR=deepskyblue]5 It is an offence for a person who abuses the use of fog lamps [/COLOR][/B] [B][COLOR=deepskyblue]and/or having any installation of vehicle lighting systems that do not comply [/COLOR][/B] [B][COLOR=deepskyblue]with requirements. [/COLOR][COLOR=red]Offenders are liable, upon conviction, to a fine of up to [/COLOR][/B] [B][COLOR=red]$1,000 or a jail term of up to three months for first offence. Repeat [/COLOR][/B] [B][COLOR=red]offenders are liable, upon conviction, to a fine of up to $2,000 or a [/COLOR][/B] [B][COLOR=red]jail term of up to six months. [/COLOR][/B] [B][COLOR=deepskyblue]6 In the event if you come across any unroadworthy or illegally [/COLOR][/B] [B][COLOR=deepskyblue]modified vehicles on the roads, you can fill up the attached informant [/COLOR][/B] [B][COLOR=deepskyblue]feedback form and return it, via fax or mail, to the Vehicle [/COLOR][/B] [B][COLOR=deepskyblue]Engineering Division of LTA at 10 Sin Ming Drive, Singapore 575701. [/COLOR][/B] [B][COLOR=deepskyblue]7 We hope the above clarifies. Once again, we thank you for your [/COLOR][/B] [B][COLOR=deepskyblue]feedback.
