Extra Lights

Nice thought. Led lights penetrate well but not sure if they can shine through 2 inches of mud and cow leavings

Are they just small fog lamps under the spotlights?,
Not 100% but I think its a max of 4 driving/spotlights over your standard headlights, I will ask the in-law and see what he says.

It's a max of 4 driving lights total, so thats your factory headlights plus 2 driving lights. If you have 4 driving lights from factory like say a kenworth, then your not allowed anymore driving lights. Fog lights and day runners are a different class altogether

What does it say around your number plate?

by **geeves** » Sun Aug 02, 2009 12:34 pm

it looks like "if you cant read this plse roll me over"
Should of put "if you can read this" and had it printed upside down

Thats exactly what I tried to get.

But they wouldn't turn the plate over when they stamped it.

Well I failed my wof missrabley.

Well it wasn't too bad, wheel bearings, balljoint, rear spring bushes, brake pads and that bloody park brake.
God I am sick of adjusting that every 6 months.

Anyway as for the lights. no problem with how many BUT..... he wont let them pass.. reason Front fog light aim high and no pattern.

I can aim it down but whats with the pattern?? I asked him what he ment but the grumpy old bugger wouldn't tell me. lol. I just pull the fuse on them untill I get the rest fixd and a clarification on the lights when I go back.

Wasnt vtnz was it? Last time I went there I used some words that geeves wouldnt print. He had trouble with one of my headlights having no pattern- it was brand new but had a film of dust over it

by **mulover** » Fri Sep 11, 2009 7:21 pm

tell the old fella to put his glasses on next time, the light shines forward doesn't it!!! :lol:

muz, you should of got it saying "if you can read this", and just put your plates on upside down. :mrgreen:

by **muzila** » Fri Sep 11, 2009 8:49 pm

Yea it was vtnz. I wont be going back there again. think I will find a 4x4 frendly garage and go there from now on...

Mulover. thats not a bad idea. hhmmm.... thinkin of options lol

by **slightlydodgy** » Sat Sep 12, 2009 6:31 am

I find local country town garages tend to be alot more helpful, local here let me borrow a timing light and check it in his yard yesterday

by **mulover** » Mon Sep 14, 2009 10:24 am

up stairs for thinking.....

Slightlydodgy is right there, especially if they get to know you and your vechile. Just be sure that if they give you a warrant and tell you to fix something whe nyou get home, you do, or they will remember next time.

They have changed the rules around lights now. I can pass a WOF now by calling my roof lights "work lamps"

Work lamps
White or amber high intensity lamps that are not necessary for the operation of the vehicle but are designed to illuminate the area around the vehicle or the vehicle itself.
Scene lamps
Work lamps designed to provide a fixed or movable beam of light to illuminate the area around the vehicle or the vehicle itself.

http://www.landtransport.govt.nz/certifiers/virm-in-service/general-04-v3a5.pdf here are the regulations around lights

Just read the manual and traffic rules or find the answer on the websites and know that well.

Got it sussed I got a $30 dollar pair of 55 watt halogens from supercheap and mounted them on stainless brackets in front of the wing mirrors. Ive had a pair of these on our farm quad as the main lights for 2 years now and they are a suprising little light. set at a 45 deg angle they give periphial light out to past 90deg of the driver

the wiring goes through the quaterlight to a dash switch. For wof ill just pull the plugs Also fitted a dash switch for the reverse lights - handy for shutting gates and hooking up trailers at 4.30 in the morning
