My eyes on at night....

Dont seem to light up the road that far in front (see pic). Dont even reach the back of the car about 15feet in front. dont light up road signs untill Im right under them either. Do you think the fact that I have lowered the front 35mm making that much difference? At first they were pointing over to the left but I straightened them up. Just dont seem to have any sort of range???

Anyone have the same issues??

If you lowered just the front then the lights will naturally be pointing lower - youd either have to lower the back a similar amount to correct it or adjust the lights upward!

Seems like quite a strong light though so they should be good once youve got it sorted.

i wanna see a pic of these from the front

*** At first they were pointing over to the left but I straightened them up.

I thought they were suposed to point slightly to the left - at least in right hand drive cars - could be wrong I guess

adjusting them upwards slightly should be easy though

 

[Rhino172]

they dont actually adjust. Just have to loosen some bolts and tighten others to move them. I cant get them any higher thats y I thought it was a bit odd. Yeah they still do point to the left as they should but at first they were lighting up the path and not the road infront of me. thery were well off!!

I got eyebrows on too hense the slight "frown"

 

[midge]

take the brows off mate and see if its ok then..

 

[Rhino172]

I did think that. Aint tried it yet tho as I cant see that the brows would really make too much diff as the actual headlight bulb is in the centre of one of the rings not the actual ring itself (if that makes sense)..

 

[Djw Dave]

Lights look cool though!

 

[Rhino172]

Cheers, just went out and played arund with them. Getting better, light spread is a bit wider now instead of spotlight kinda directional like they were. Noticed there ar little screw typr things on the back of the lights?!?!? would these adjust the direction of the beam or do they just hold it together?!?!?

 

[feirce187]

there are 4 screws on each light on back of headlights n from wot i can gather they adjust the headlights, mine are a lil high one nearside but havent been flashed by oncomin drivers so not blindin anyone

here some pics of mine if helps

[BozVanDam]

i had a go myself when i fitted them but then had them adjusted at the begining of the week as part of the mot and i took these (apologies for the crapness of the photos) last night - first pic is dipped, second main beam - i didnt get any others as the bloke got worried and drove away!

the other car is about 80 or so ft away and the furthest set of cats eyes in the first pic are around 100 ft

 

[Rhino172]

fook me mine realy do need adjusting! Didnt ddo it last night as the missus came round. will give it a go tonight and post some pics later on....

cheers guys

 

[cutlercup]

Can you get these lights for 172 cups mark 2.

Wouldnt mine a pair...

 

[Rhino172]

Right damn April Showers making this alot harder than what it should be! Im very confused now. The headlight is the outer one (purple circles) and the full beam is the inner on (yellow circles). The yellow ones clearly adjust the direction of the full beam but do the purple ones adjust the headlight position as they look as tho they hold the thing together instead of adjusting anything???? Im CONFUSED.COM!!!!

[BozVanDam]

i just fiddled with the inner (yellow) bolts and so did the bloke doing the mot

 

[Rhino172]

Cool, Ill give it a go. If it ever stops raining!!

 

[Rhino172]

FU*********K!!! Finaly started to adjust them. Things were looking good and then...................* *

Nothing! the headlight stops working. Hopefully its just the bulb gone. Anyone know what type of bulb it is??

Cheers

oh dear mate doesnt sound gd, how ya gettin on, havent adjusted mine at the mo, down on my priority list

 

[Rhino172]

Bought 2 new Super Briliance ones. £13ish each. Replaced them and it still wernt working!! It was the friggin fuse haha!!

Finaly done, the big test tonight to see what they are like!

Tip for anyone else wanting to do this....... The yelow ones (in pic ^^^) adjust the Full Beam and the purple ones adjust the normal headlight beam. Its a lot easier to take the light cluster out, adjust it, put it back in and try it out. Trying to adjust with the lights bolted in place is a pain in the a*se and youll end up with cut knuckles much ike mine! People at work thought id been in a fight over the weekend cos of my knuckles!!

lol cool need to adjust mine, either the nearside needs to go down or the offside needs to go up lol, wot is the correct height 4 them?

 

[Munson]

Buy a BMW?

 

[Rhino172]

Dunno about correct height or position, just doing what looks good and lights up more of the road. Still aint tried them tonight, cant be bothered to turn the car round to point down the road instead of straight at the back of my bros car. aslong as they aint too high to blind the person your following or the oncoming traffic then should be fine.

 

[feirce187]

yeah thats wot i fort, havent blinded anyone n doesnt irritate me so will jus leave them as they r

 

[Dan_mk1]

They looks so much brighter than standard valver jobbys, I still wouldnt buy a pair tho, lol

 

[Rhino172]

Woohoo!! Finally done!! actually reaches the back of the car down the road now!!!!............
