Xenon Bulbs

bought these after seeing a link on here, they look good however i dont think there as bright as there meant to be, does the polarity matter on the bulbs ie does the connector work when plugged both ways, even my main beam seems sh!t, and yes iv played around with the height adjuster and got it at max height, noticed on my headlights there is a silver cap built into the headlight fitting, i know this is to do with the dispersal of light somehow but also noticed the tips of the H7 bulbs have a coating on them, are these the correct bulbs or have i maybe got a lighting problem. thanks

Sorry but they are cheap crap imo  :lipsrsealed:

You get what you pay for and the likes of Phillips and Osram are the ones to go for  :smiley:
