Ekona Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 I had a similar issue with my lights, so I asked my local dealer to adjust them right up to their maximum legal limit instead of somewhere in the middle. Made them a billion times better and now I don't even need to consider different lights. Worth a try before spending mega bucks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ekona Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Sorry, I mean the height of the beam. As stock it'll be set fairly in the middle of the max range of adjustment to ensure it passes MOTs and whatnot, but you can still set it to the highest limit and it'll pass without blinding others. That's what I did any way, and haven't looked back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris`I Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 how do you adjust the lights read it before put cant find the thread Down the inside edge of the headlight there is a small hole, down the bottom is a small adjuster which you can adjust with a looong (about 1ft) posidrive screw driver. I cant remember which turn is which for up or down though. I think its clockwise to turn it up When I did mine, I put it on the drive with the other car and adjusted it so the cutoff is below their window, but on the back of the car quite high. With the beam, the hotspot is in the middle, so as they adjust the car low, the hotspot is far too low stock. Adjust it up and its all good Should say the adjuster looks like a small toothed wheel with another bit with an X in it for the screwdriver head EDIT: Sod it here you go!

M13KYF Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 marzman got some 8kw bulbs of ebay instead of the I think 2.5kw that come standard. They did look considerable brighter at the krispy kremes meet. Only thin is having to remove the bumper to change them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shire350Z Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Yeah you can reach the dipped bulbs to through there as the garage fitted me some that way while the car was in for some work! I bought some really bright bulbs for mine just need adjusting now as way to low Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the lights, they are poor. I changed the bulb and it made the problem worse! So went back to stock. I might try again but running about rural Aberdeenshire isn't the best!
