Fog lights

[FR_POWER]

doesn't bother me, i'll take improved visability resulting in improved safety and speed over style anyday of the week.
projectors? cut off point? mine's the one in my avatar, i have no idea what it has at the front beyond lights

like i said it depends on the person what they want!


Projectors are that come with mercs, bmws, lexus, alfas, fords etc...

well, today experienced some driving in fog. Even my factory fitted bulbs can't satisfy me when it is foggy, can't imagine if I had replaced them with other halogens, especially the ones for style. MUST go for xenons, definitely.

for me it was a cost option, i couldnt bring myself to spend £670 on them, i went for the leather interior instead, it was one or the other. i believe i made the right choice for my own personal preference

couldnt justify it, when you can get the same sort of look with different bulbs (ish)

dave when you ordered your sidelights did you get two pairs? i was having a look at mine and there seems to be two bulbs in each headlamp? any pics would be appriciated aswell

 

[FR_POWER]

it was really simple, i just went halfords and picked up two pairs of H7 bulbs, you need 1 pair for your dipped beams and 1 pair for your main beams,

open up the bonnet and behind the headlights are two black plastic covers they have a silver sticker on the top of them which if you peel off says void on it, the main beams are the inside covers and the dipped lights are the outside ones, it shows you this in the manual i think its page 212ish,

its just a case of pulling the plug thing out the back of the bulb, unclipping a metal bar over the top and slide the bulb out, its a 5 minute job, just dont touch the bulb with bare fingers as this can damage them, ill take some pictures tomorrow as i did this in the dark so i couldnt take any

Hey! how did you get your main beams ones out? find it difficult getting them out.

hey, got 1 question for your bulbs. What are those bulbs' lifetime? How long will they work..? Example, NB's have about 300 hours lifetime as I remember.

 

[Dave217]
