Look in these two videos - one has warts, one does not. Thank God mine are not as bad!

Wart free

:rolleyes:


I think the first one is how they are, the second is bad quality and at a bad angle so if it had warts you wouldn't be able to see them anyhow  :sad:

Sorry, but Video B is of very low quality and only provides a narrow window. Hence wartless. :smiley:
Agree with Doc's take on this.

I suppose we have all been, to some extent, a bit jokey about Xenon warts. However, I must admit I 'might' find it annoying, if there was just one wart moving around in line of sight. I 'might' feel that with two warts, there would be a helpful balance and the annoyance would reduced at least by half. Two, in this case, might seem better than one and I am being truthfully serious.

I would rather have a Xenon with a wart than any Halogen any night. :lipsrsealed:

I'd adjust them, it's easy I have good range with one full full rotation on the adjustment screw lower than standard  :wink:

Like I said earlier the "warts" are unavoidable due to the design of the headlamp, it's caused by the bulb reflecting off the silver scoops inside the headlamp, it really isn't noticeable when your driving on the road as your looking further ahead, where as nothing is noticeable with halogens as they don't light anything up  :grin:
