Title: New headlight question
Post by: Mr_Orange on 04 September 2009, 12:14
This may sound a bit stupid, in fact I feel an idiot asking, but here you go:   :embarassed:

I recently fitted a brand new valeo headlight unit which has made the other (original one) look kinda yellow?  The light beams are not however different colours. 

I initially put it down to the old one being a bit manky.  Obvioulsy cleaned the outside, still no different.  I can't clean inside the lens, but had a horrible thought........  Are the standard lenses kinda tinted or something?

Have I dropped a large hairy spherical object here and bought a "clear" one when I should have got a headlight with a tinted lens?

Thanks

Hmmmmmmm....  I notice it now and it looks a little bit odd is all.  I'll perhaps look out for another new one for the other side.

Hadn't considered upgrading, I kinda like the standard units with the silver paint job.

Will this affect MOT or anything like that?   :undecided:

Aye alignment aint too bad.  I copied the original unit, by amount of adjuster turns etc.  I need to pop out one of these dark wintry nights lately and get it spot on!

Thanks
