Question HID lights

Hey guys

I'm in the market for some new HID lights for my 04
I currently have "exsun" HID's that came with the car and are now starting to play up.


I would like to know what brand is the best, and where to purchase them locally??

HID's are only illegal if you do not have auto Headlight leveling & washers.

Quote:
ADR 13 requires that all vehicles fitted with headlamps (including HID) producing over 2,000 lumens (a measure of light output) have a self-levelling system and headlight washers.

http://www.comlaw.gov.au/Details/F2005L03991
I see a lot of Cars on the Road @ night these days with the HID's not leveled correctly and quite blinding to other drivers. It's Pretty unsafe & IMHO is a fair rule .

Factory fitted must comply with ADR 13. So they will have Auto Leveling & Washers.
