I am currently importing a STI 7 from Japan with the HID (Gas discharge) lights which will arrive in the UK in FEB, now I know that it will fail the SVA test because they have not got a washer system. Has anyone managed to get them through the test by changing the blubs or do I have to buy some new headlights?

Is there anyone out there with an old set of uk lights spare that I could borrow for a few days?

Thanks for any help

Cheers

Hallie

Thanks Andy I have sent you a mail.

Tony,

The car is a blue 07/2001 car and has 1000 kms on the clock, brembos, hid lights and sat nav(which I don't expect to work!!!) and will cost about £20,500 I am a importer however!! but this will be my car. I will be able to get more if anyone is interested send me a mail?

Cheers

Martin

 

What fuel will you be using?

 

OPTIMAX (98 RON)

 

Why will no washers on lights cause it to fail the SVA? My 22B, the EVO and the STi I had all passed and they ain't got no washers either......

 

Tim,

The goverment have changed to rules again, did your 22b have HID lights????? as the requirement for washers only applies to them.

My EVO 7 passed the SVA in July before the new requirements came into effect.

You also need something called a model report on cars newer than 97 it costs 400 ish for the STI 7

Cheers

Martin
