Insurance issue..., On projector headlights Options

[tto010]

The problem is, if i change to Projectors i get into serious trouble if they find it if something happens... Like i gotta pay the insurance pay-out if someone crashes into me.

Will it look good if i just keep original outers and put the clear inners inn? Long lights isnt that strict compared to near-lights.

Was thinking of using yellow protective foil on them as well, or maybe gunsmoked.

The insurance company say if it is not 100% legal, you can get consequenses. They dont know very much about it, but dont want to take any chances.
If i do major changes, like other springs, bigger brakes, bigger tires, they gotta write it in as a comment on my insurance. And i gotta go to the part of the govurnment that has to do about roads and cars, and show them what i have done... And they need a piece of paper from Toyota Norway (Jæger) confirming what i have done and that it has been done right.

But, if i put a insert in the headlamp, i have opened the headlamp and then the lamp is not approved any more, for some wierd reason... But i have already done that...

I think i will just put the inners on first and then i have infinite time to fix the projectors so they will be both legal and look OEM. just to be certain.

Well, you can't just stick a projector or an HID module into a reflector housing and maintain legality -- it's like mixing parts from a diesel and gasoline engine. You might with enough jury-rigging make it fit, but it won't work correctly. My suggestion of purchasing aftermarket projector housings was due to the housing being certified. It does all the work. The exterior clear plastic lens is just a protective cover, and therefore doesn't matter if you source it from a Japanese car or a European one.
