When contacted JPJ director-general Datuk Solah Mat Hassan said enforcement on vehicles with illegally-fitted HID lights was an ongoing process.
He said although the local automotive industry follows the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe, the RTD had its own standards and vehicles installed with HID lights of more than 4,300K were issued summonses.
“These motorists have fixed bulbs illegally. We allow xenon lights on the roads but it must be properly aligned and it should not be more than the approved Kelvin Rating,’’ he added.
JPJ engineering department (automotive division) director Mohamed Dalib said the department measured the Kelvin Rating of a vehicle with xenon lights within a distance of 25ft.
“If the light source measured is more than 4,300K, than you will be summoned,’’ he said.
Meanwhile, Solah said the department was in discussion with ministry officials on the next level of enforcement against HID lights.
