This does not make sense at all. Assuming that the car I bought was legally brought into Malaysia, approved by JPJ, and given a road tax with insurance.
So, is it my fault I spent the extra dollars for HIDs, and I’ve to bear the burden of RE-REGISTERING my HIDs again?
Why couldn’t JPJ just not approved the cars with factory-installed HIDs?
Crumbs!
lastly, blinding incoming HIDs is due to the misalignment of the lights, not the HIDs itselves! Duh!
Roadblocks should have those big boards installed to see if the lights are aligned properly! Ha! That’ll be a joke!
