[QUOTE="anaksarawak, post: 213903, member: 4851"] STAR Mon 25 June PETALING JAYA: Carmakers say that Xenon lights installed on their vehicles meet international requirements and pose no danger to other road users. DaimlerChrysler Malaysia Sdn Bhd vice-president of sales and marketing Florian Mueller said Xenon lights on Mercedes-Benz models were developed to give better lighting cover. Mueller said Mercedes-Benz’s Xenon lights were also equipped with headlight washers as dirty headlights could disperse the strong Xenon light beams and dazzle other road users. Last week, JPJ director of Enforcement Salim Parlan said the department was considering regulations to prohibit the use of Xenon lights on vehicles altogether. He also said he had received complaints from the public on modified Xenon headlights that “blind” other road users and added that JPJ would take immediate action against modifications beyond the set standard under the Road Transport Act (1987). BMW Malaysia Sdn Bhd corporate affairs manager T. Vijayaratnam believes that the issue involved Xenon modification kits that did not meet safety standards. He said the Xenon lights installed on BMW models had been extensively tested and met international safety requirements and regulations. The Malaysian Automotive Association wants to meet the JPJ to discuss the matter. Its president Datuk Aishah Ahmad said the association had not been informed by JPJ on the proposal to ban Xenon headlights [/QUOTE]
