quick headlight question V50
Ok just got a 55 plate V50. The dip beam seems really dull, unlike my 06 S40. I have seen all the suggestions for cleaning the projector lens, I can do that but I was under the impression that they are bi xenon, I was worried about getting my hands anywhere near them for fear they would bite and blast me across the driveway. Any tips please. They seem dull and yellow, where the S40 is white and bright. Cheers

Firstly, it appears to me that you might have bought a car with different lighting technology. The first one you had might have been fitted with xenon and the one you have now is probably halogen. These are notorious for terrible light output. Secondly, you would be hard-pressed to get blasted by a xenon-fitted headlight housing even if you tried.

yes, halogeon brilliant, any idea what the highest wattage would be safe?

Before worrying about the bulbs, get your lights apart and check the condition of the reflectors - any slight loss of the silvering has a huge effect on light output.

I have fitted these: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Philips-Whi...9261384&sr=8-1 And the beam is pretty good.Note they also come with the side lights which is useful. |
