Title: Sh|tty light from headlights???
Post by: rowlers on 24 September 2007, 20:21

A while ago I put some crystal somked headlights on,

Now the crappy dark mornings/nights are hear I need the lights on, but the light they give out is p|ss poor??

Anyone else any experience of this?

I have not had them aligned, and look like they are pointing too low - but even so they are kak!

Any clues?


PS running an uprated loom.... so this is not the issue!

What bulbs have you got in them and do they have an E-mark?

The bulbs are std wattage but the white light ones - were fine in my old lenses.
The crystal smokes have an E mark but can't remember the number after it. The weather is horrendous atm so I aint going out to have a look!!!

They are more than likely LHD though. Surely this doesn't effect the amount of light they emit though!?

My g60 had smoked x hairs when I bought it. One fast drive on a B road late at night was enough to make pull them off. Went back to OEM lights and fitted an extra wiring loom with Philips Ultra bright bulbs, now I can see where I am going !
