washers don't look too hard to fit, just find some flush fit ones on a car in the scrappy. Just need a separate pump and the bigger washer bottle, plumb it all in, done (I'm saying this like I will be doing it soon  :wink:)

do you need to have headlight washers on any car, any age?

nightbreakers only have 30% of the life compared to standard bulbs. they are an improvement over standards

where did you get that?
Apparently the original ones only had a short life but the Nightbreaker Plus are much better which means more expensive!!

osram nightbreakers  :smiley:

+1 got them and much much better

I removed my HIDs the other day and fitted Osrams the other day...now, only now it seems people are flashing me as if to say turn your hi beam off! Whats going? They're f**king uprated bulbs not HIDs...

What 'level' do you all have your scroll light switch on, the small one on right hand side?

i found this ^^

i have HIDs, also when your driving around you can tell who has HIDs and i have never in my life thought any are too bright. on the other hand i see a lot of new (probably like 2008 onward) cars whos headlights are majorly too bright.

the load adjuster should always be set on 0 for driving with normal loads. It is tested on 0 on the MOT
