Yep, I agree. Sadly the man that gets to make the call on that isn't really qualified to do it, so you've a gamble on whether he'll pass it or not. I can live with that and I'm happy to take that chance. The SCU however have the resources to get somebody who is qualified, so so long as I don't hit a van fully of kiddies I should be fine

The world would be a better place if everybody only ever fitted quality modifications, but I'd wager that 99% of HID 'kits' in NZ are a ballast and a HID bulb.
