When I ordered my car, I had the option of specifying HiD lights, but it was quite an expensive option and to be honest modern headlights tend to be pretty good these days don't they? Well not in my case. Full beam is fine but from day one the dip bean has been awfull,
I have been meaning to upgrade the bulbs for some time, and tonight at long last I managed to get around to doing just that.
WoW, what a difference. The packaging states that the bulbs, although the same wattage, are 100% brighter than standard,
I would say that they are more than that, in comparison it is like driving in daylight.
I feel such a prat for having left it so long, and it is not as if it is even an expensive modification, just a fiddly pain in the arse as everything is so cramped to gain access to the back of the headlight unit, especially on the passenger side.
Anyway, all done now, big smile on my face and I can start to enjoy night time driving again which I tend to have to do quite a bit of with work.
Happy days
