Smile hid headlights

unless my headlights are out of adjustment my dipped beams do **** all apart from light the ground in front of the car.

they dont even light up cats eyes.


also are the right hand headlights supposed to project the 1" wide laser beam lower than the left hand side.

whats the point of them.

What the headlights light up they light it up well, just no lengh in the beam and the beam cut off is sharp.

After my MOT I wound them up a bit higher than they set them as I couldn't see f all.

Must admit, mine aren't too bad. Far better than any other car I've driven.

What you need is an infra red camera, so you can see further ahead in the dark. Top Gear featured a car last series, which had an infra red camera, and the difference was stunning. Now that's a safety feature I agree we need.

Mine are superb! The cut off line is a bit sharp but I can see absolutely everything miles down the road, every bit as good as modern BMW HID's which is saying something!

WTF?

Thought you'd try adjusting BEFORE slagging 'em off!

Try a Civic EK if you want a truly shit dipped beam.

The vertical adjusters are accessed therough holes in the inner wings, IIRC. You need to lose the expansion bottle on the NS.

Poor head lights

You have obviously never driven a VW corrado VR6 then.

The HID on the S2000 are the best lights on any car i have had.
