U have misunderstood. Left side bulb blew after 1 year, followed by the right side bulb 2 weeks later.

I think they understand. If they have doubt, they just saman you and ask you to do inspection at Puspacom. Puspacom will then confirm whether your headlight is HIS or not.

Please take note that JPJ will saman you to do inspection at Puspacom. This is the same as tinted glass.

Dont be too sure that they do.

The saman says "Mengubahsuai Melanggar Peraturan - .............." i.e. Illegal Modifications and the instruction is to remove and have the car inspected at JPJ with a stipulated time. You still pay the fine though.

I should know I got it.

One year sounds fair enough. Hmmm wonder whether we can get this from the normal spare part shops besides the shop mentioned in Sea Park. Anybody tried?

So now the next question ... JPJ approved or not? As per Saat, NOPE.

Any other options? My current original headlights are getting worse and I lost my 'BMW driving satisfaction' during night time months ago.

Bro, can i use the osram night breaker bulb with the ballast which i bought from benjichris88?

Bro, can i use the osram night breaker bulb with the ballast which i bought from benjichris88?

NO. Osram is rated as 12VDC. Ballast output is >85VAC. :stupid:

Yes, if you want to see a fire from the headlamp. :stupid:

The bulb would most probably exploded due to over voltage from the ballast output supply.

For those who are interested to know, the ballast is actually a device which step up the 12VDC supply to 85 VAC supply. It also have a ignition circuit incorporate to ignite the arcing of the xenon gas in HID bulb. Once the gas is arcing, the arcing is kept alive via another circuit.

It a bit like you house hod fluorescent lamp. Older technology use a starter and a inductor. You will see that your lamp will flicker one or two time before it start light up. Newer technology used electronic ballast. When you switch on the Fl lamp come on immediately without flickering. :top:

 

[nawtyboy]

does anybody has any idea what is the bulb type for E30 M20 spotlight?

Is this Osram night breaker has bulb cater for M20 spotlight? Tks...

 

[bmw7833]

NO. Osram is rated as 12VDC. Ballast output is >85VAC. :stupid:

Yes, if you want to see a fire from the headlamp. :stupid:

Ok, thanks.

So any branded ie Philips and Osram bulb i can use together with the ballast? Or i only can stay back with the bulb which come with the ballast?

 

[jarance]
