xenon bulbs

Post by JoeG07 »

Ever since fitting my xenons (real ones, not halfords xenon effect!) other drivers keep getting beef and flashing me coz they think they have my main beam on when i don't. Aggh!

lol you need to adjust the beam pattern - probs need to make your headlights look a little closer to the floor. Frosted headlight lenses have a habit of causing these problems unfortunately.

Mine are coming tomorrow - ive already tried a set in and as its clear lenses, theres no probs. I cant wait :D

Your headlights are most likely set too high - they need to be adjusted. I presume angel eyes have the facility to do this?
