Headlights

MarcB · Nov 11, 2012

Well after a few weeks wait i went and seen StevoC and his brother and bought some decent headlights (Xenons)

Steven and his brother popped my bumper off and had these fitted within 15mins and im well happy with them.

Spinksy · Nov 11, 2012

did the trophy not come with xenons? (serious question mate, i thought they would have...)

MarcB · Nov 11, 2012

I thought this also when i bought the Trophy but no. They came with standard headlights which was a bit of a let down.

Well happy now that i have upgraded to xenon's

ThomasBrentnall · Nov 11, 2012

Are you selling the old ones?

Okay no problem

Looks much better!

Stefan. · Nov 11, 2012

now you have had both, what do you think of both in terms of what gives you better view of the road?

Not driven on the road as of yet, Once they where done the car has been parked up at the house and its not moved.

Looks shed loads better Marc.

Feirny · Nov 11, 2012

I know buddy, Thank you so much. Cant actually wait till later so i can take the car out

I have LED side lights that match the colour of the xenon.
Are you suggesting that i dont have any side lights in at all so its just the xenon ?

Yep, I've had 4 sets of sidelights, 3 of them were LED of differing sizes, and they look so much better without.

Impey · Nov 11, 2012

good up grade think it was to do with the weight of Xenons why they didnt come with them

Lal B3N · Nov 11, 2012

Look much better.

Light output is s**t imo though.

MarcB · Nov 12, 2012

I have still not driven the car at night yet so i cant comment.
Will maybe pop out with it tonight and see what its like

Tim. · Nov 12, 2012

Keen to hear your feedback on this Marc, it's one thing I've been toying with for some time now.

I highly recommend fitting them mate. I had them fitted to my Trophy previously and it was the best mod I done.

MarcB · Nov 12, 2012

Even if they are not the brightest of lights they still look the bee's knee's and im well happy with them.

Later on tonight i will deff be taking the car out.

Standard Headlights with LED side lights

tommy g · Nov 12, 2012

Do these weigh more than the standards?

MarcB · Nov 12, 2012

I would say yeah due to the fact that they have the ignitor / ballest on them.

I dont think it would be by much and to get an exact reading of how much im guessing you would need to get them on scales as i never really felt any difference when holding them

Hardly anything in it.

Poopensharten · Nov 12, 2012

Looks great Marc, a must for T owners. Why they weren't OEM ill never know!

tommy g · Nov 12, 2012

May get some for the cup. They do look nice tbf but If there alot heavier I won't bother.

When i bought the car i thought they came as standard but they went for the Cup rear seats and pi$h front headlights

There is not that much in it that you are going to be beaten in a 1/4 mile due to the weight of your new headlights.
As i say when i had both them in my hand i could not tell the difference one bit and to find out for sure the weight you would need to get them on scales.

serious question because my friend did that with his megane... any reason for taking the side lights out? is it just like a mix of colour with them in?

Stefan. · Nov 12, 2012

my xenons seems to give me crap view of the road :dapprove: yours look better

Chileno · Nov 12, 2012

BIG improvement, thousands better!

Im lucky as my LED sidelights are a perfect match to the xenon headlights.
I dont know why you would take the side lights out but i guess its down to personal choice.

Mines are decent, Im guessing there is prob better and brighter out there at a cost of £££ but im well happy with my headlights.

It cleans the cars front end up so so much and they look very smart

Ricardos · Nov 13, 2012

Looks smart, I don't suppose you have a link to where you bought your LED sidelights please?
