I am he, fear me
A single lamp assy each side (EG one on the LH and one on the RH as in a factory GQ Patrol) with a single globe with a low and main beam filament counts as 2 not 4.
A dual lamp (IE one with 2 globes or two seperate assy's side by side with a globe each) where both are illuminated when main beam is selected counts as 4
Anyone who tells you different is talking out there arse.
Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.

So why is it that with HID headlights, when you first turn the lights on low beam, they take a while to get up to brightness, but when you switch to high beams, the brightness is instant?
A HID (High Intensity Discharge) light works by heating the gas in the bulb to create the light. The "getting to brightness is them warming up to operating temperature.
When you flick on high beam (on a legal projector lens) there is a little blade that flicks down allowing full light through the projector. Normally the blade blocks a portion of the light, thus giving you "low beam" and that nice straight cut off line.

That's not the case though on a HID lamp that you see installed in a regular light reflector though.

Mudski if you get there again ask about headlight heights. Headlight heights can also be the restriction on lift legalities. You can have a lift engineered but its still illegal as the headlights are above adr requirements.
This may be old and outdated info so would be good to get this confirmed.

1.2m the ADR is. From all the info he was blurting out and me trying to take it all in, I think he said the height is fine after the engineer has done his thing with the car. I think. but I do believe one of the reasons why they wont engineer over 4inch is because of the headlamp height.

Problem there is they get you just as you get out of the tracks. I've seen them waiting for the 4wders and bikers.

Getting back on topic.
33" tyres are legal, 285/75/16 are legal, what about 305/70/16? They all measure up to 33".

Yeah i asked brett about 305's. Thats the limit but he said the GU's dont drive aswell on 305's as they do with 285s. Not sure on the reason behind this though....
I got a bit of work to do between now and when it goes it to scrub up on a few things.
Just a few small things to do. Change out my headlights is the biggest thing. Whether i will put them back in is another thing after its done.

Be interested to know why as I run 305"s off-road - I wouldn't think the additional width / rolling weight would have thrown things out that much?
