Halogen Headlights over Xenons?

[deanpoli]

how bright are the normal halogen beams? and how well would they light the road up especially down country roads with no lamp posts?

also can you purchase brighter halogen bulbs for these standard lamps woth a blue hue to them?

Chalk and cheese - Buy the xenons

Crikey!  to compare is to insult the Xenons    they really are awesome 

[deanpoli]

ha ha yes but the look at the price ,  £725, thats nearly a grand worth just for headlamps.

[The Doc]

ha ha yes?

and your point is............??

here's my point.............

Its not nearly a grand its £725 (leaving you enough change from 1K for the lux 2 pack or reverse park sensors) and worth every penny - works out at 6.6p per night over 3 years which is how long most people seem to keep there cars for.

Feck, I'd go to 7p a night easy!!! And you need to remember that your using less electricity with xenons which could well cover 0.6 of this cost.

PLUS: with xenon's you can see better and people can see you better so they could save your life!!! For 6p!!!

PLUS 2: Its worth £725 to Bi-Xenon any noobs that pull out on you - you can see them squinting in their rear view mirror as you burn their retinas out lol I'm sure Matt will agree!

Quality Doc! 

Dean, you'll get some of that money back when you sell on    And matey they really are the mutts!!  During the day at over a ton with your lights on the automatic setting, they'll come on and clear the road in front of you.  Bloody magic 

We had regular xenons on the A3 and they were dearer than the BI-xenons on the Golf, so they work out great value for money 

I tend to like my blast down the country roads VERY late at night, the Box has awful lights and this dictates the speed.  Ok so i don't do anything stupid but I like to hold my speed and be consistant, with the Bi-xenons it's not even a thought!!!  They really are awesome matey....... I'll get that pick sorted for you........

There you go

[deanpoli]

well that is a big difference, looks like you lot are right! just hope that the stealer will give me money back on options when it comes it trade the car in say 2 to 3 years time.

and is it true the they'll give only 10% back  on options?

[The Doc]

The more spec you have the more re-saleable it will be! 

[The Doc]

Plus the car looks super cool and modern with xenons in the dark!

I'll send you some photos this eve!
