Would doing this mod be legal in Australia? I know the bottom set would be fine but would I be allowed the have eye lines going as well? I think I would look fanny-tastic against the black paint on my car! bling bling

[Dazzler]

Can't see why not! 

[Doggie 1]

After you've done it, the local constabulary will soon tell you if it's not. 
They're good like that.

[VaerO]

I thought there might have been a height requirement or a one set only rule or something.

[TheReaper]

It wouldn't project that much light or cause much of a distraction. I have seen these before and thought about getting them

Yes, but not on the carpet.
I'm a sharing, caring individual.

No, for a more tasteful avatar replacement.

They look awesome! I love seeing mods on the GD's (FD's are still the better looking ones )

They will be fine, no reason why they would be illegal

My head hurt just glancing at it... 

[Phil №❶]

Thanks Rusty, just wiring up my DRL's to the VP Commodore, measurements all check out.

BTW, I really am doing this, not trying to stir at all.

[rustynutz]

Good onya, Phil.... 

Personally I'd be trying to make the Commode less conspicuous.... 

[Phil №❶]

 

We do drive Ruby most often but occasionally, Victor gets a run too, he tows the trailer and does heavy work.

[rustynutz]

Sorry Phil, just teasing...there's nuthin' wrong with the old Commodes..... 

[Phil №❶]

No worries, all in jest.

This car is just coming up to 200 k kms. Spent a lot of time used on weekends, so still reaping the benefits of the car. Starting to cost a bit to maintain now. Drives beautifully though.

So far I have replaced LHS valve lifters, 2 alternator swaps, 2 water pumps, electric window relay, 1 A Trans filter clean, serpentine belt and just recently, swap power steering pump & rack. Done all the work, except the A.T and the last 2, myself.

Over about 15 years. Purrs like a kitten now so hopefully, that's the end of the major stuff. Can;t see me buying a new vehicle for the rest of my time, I'll either loose my license or kick the bucket, whichever comes 1st.

[rustynutz]

 

Geez, I hope you've done less on the i30 than you have on the Commodore at 200,000...

Better change your moniker to Doggie 3

There's actually four (but you have to click on it).
They're only having a bit of fun playing choo choo trains.

"No more then two" there we go so its illegal

[rustynutz]

But that section is on Daylight Running Lamps.....you're wanting the eye brow thingies, yes? 

[VaerO]

Well I was wanting to have the genuine fog light drl's and the eyeline drl's if legal... But since its not I'll settle with just the eyelines.

Edit: Are the eyelines "technically" lamps? All they are is a strip of LEDs in a white tube to disperse the light into one continuous line. Its not like they throw any light forward like  most DRLs.

[rustynutz]

The fog light/drl's aren't illegal....as you probably know, there are already Hyundai i30 models coming into Australia with these fitted as standard (Tourer & SE).

The only issue may be the eyeline lights, but that has yet to be ascertained... 

[Phil №❶]

They're ok in the i40, so why not an i30.

[rustynutz]

Just so we're on the same page, we are talking about these, I take it?
