Clio 3 dipped headlight beam terrible! Bulb recommendations

[Jonnycraig01]

Hi all, have had my 55 plate Clio 3 for a few days now and have noticed the throw on the dipped lights is terrible even with the adjuster all the way up. Can anyone recommend replacement bulbs that are suitable as I read about the UV thing cause of the plastic lens covers. I had to put the full beam on and aim fully down driving on the M50 the other day as the corners were sneaking up on me!!

Cheers


Jonny

Osram Nightbreakers are pretty good bulbs. You shouldn't need to fiddle with the adjsuter, unless you're adjusting for a heavy load in the back. Maybe worth checking yours are properly aligned?
I have Osram Nightbreakers in my Main-beam, and Philips Bluevision Ultra in my dipped beam, they're pretty excellent bulbs.

+1 for nightbreakers. I hardly ever use my full beam with them in!

Cheers for your reply, I'm assuming they're aligned as it just passed its MOT but ill have them checked anyway. My gf has nightbreakers on her Saxo so I've seen those ones in action

Might just be crappy bulbs then mate, you can even get CREE sidelights and they're like a bloody sun in your headlight. Oh and as a new member of the forum welcome! Let me introduce you to a very, very, very important rule.
