THE number of vehicles using bright xenon lights keeps increasing despite the recent announcement by the Road Transport Department (RTD) that its enforcement officers will check vehicles fitted with xenon headlights.
The department has repeatedly said it was illegal to install high intensity discharge (HID) lights on vehicles without approval. Even luxury car importers must get approval from JPJ if their cars have HID installed at the factory.
There is always the risk of blinding effect from the HID lights when one drove along highways, trunks and coastal roads, which could lead to accidents.
Those who support the ban question why anyone would install lights that posed such a hazard to other drivers.
