Xenons

Post by Goonerdad » Wed Nov 16, 2011 6:23 pm

Hi all,

I noticed this evening that some people were flashing me and the passenger in a car in front kept turning round looking at me.

Now I am good looking but this was a bit extreme! ha ha ha :tumbleweed:

I presume they thought i had my main beam on when I didnt and I have to admit the spread of light does appear to be a bit high......anyone else experienced this?

yep i had major problems for a while, and nearly ended up in a fight on a few occasions. even thou they are auto adjust they still need to be manually adjusted if they are too high, i took it to my local mot centre who put it right in a few minutes.

Ditto, get it into the MoT guys and they'll have it sorted in minutes!

Have you ever moved the whole light lamp? 3/4 screws and it will misalign if someone has been tinkering.

Ah - thanks for the replies.

I havent moved anything but it was smashed up two weeks ago so presume the repairers moved at least one of the lights!!!
