My car has a projector headlamp housing (retro-fitted). Wanna ask if it's legal to change to LED bulb or not? The headlamp probably not made for Halogen bulbs, so damn dim, can barely see the road on streets without streelights. Way dimmer if compared with a Reflector Housing + Halogen bulb.

I know HID is confirmed illegal, so not considering that at all. If LED is allowed, do I have to use warm white, or can use white oso??


Before you guys flame me, projector housing has a good cutoff angle, 100% no glare (if level-ed properly) to oncoming drivers, doesn't matter if it's halogen led or HID.

LEDs are legal if u use the 4800k yellowish ones. Make sure the beam is adjusted lower if have manual adjuster.

Yup, already adjusted it very low, which is why the road is barely visible now with Halogen bulb

not u la ... u see later sure got some one come in and hantam one.

actually JPJ is kind of hard to implement this, cause our traffic act on head lamp is still 1987 (which outdated), but they can catch by kelvin (temperature).

So it's actually not 100% if LED (white or yellow) can be used? Not even JPJ?
Or can use yellow LED but not white.

yes u can win the case in court but u might won ur self a lot other summon, for example tint, exhaust, tyre, spoiler or anything not original is consider ubah (modifiy)
best thing don't argue with them ... once malaysian wear uniform, their ego boost up 1000 level and their pocket also 10x deeper .... hahha

The only modification I have on my car now is tint, but I'm following the JPJ VLT rule so 100% no problem.

Just that the LED headlamp, even if go fight the case in court, lawyer fee + time also cost more than saman liao sweat.gif
