headlight loomage
this update has a crazy amount of images, so it needs its very own post. i was getting fed up of driving round without even being able to see the road, so i went out to buy some bits to upgrade my lights a little - which turned out to be a little bit of a disaster, because trying to find relays appears to be impossible in glasgow, heres the list of places i went to (which didnt have any in stock) before i managed to get some.

theres an ebay seller doing them for £30ish and yes i know the materials required probably cost a 5 and 20 minutes to mock up, but the quality is the best your going to get which is good knowing it wont set fire i suppose, and im sure many people on here are good with wiring and there self made ones are probably just as good. but i guarentee there are people not so talented who have made these looms up to a standard i wouldnt trust 

i have fitted the loom and got some "brighter bulbs" from halfrauds although only 55w i think and its twice as good, infact i look forward to the dark winter nights now (coupled with a new heater matrix hot hot hot)

as for HIDs a mk4 golf came at me tonight with these and i think the headlight on those is legally able to be fitted with the HID, all i can say was it wasnt that dark (7:30ish) and it blinded me, can only assume badly or not aimed at all. but even factory fit ones piss me off espically 4x4 when they come up behind and it reflects off the mirrors 

as for fog lights on at all times regardless of weather conditions.. wayne kerrs
