markjodrell Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 I have fitted facelift lights with perfectly clear lenses and have put in 55w dipped and 100w main bean xeon bulbs. I took the car to an mot garage to get them adjusted correctly. Is the adjustment available only for the dipped beam or is there an adjuster for the main as well independently The reason I ask is that even when driving on main beam they are very poor, with 310 watts I would have thought they would have been really good. To put in perspective my Vectra with 55w bulbs look light daylight in comparison,also I heve deliberatly left them on with oncoming cars and not got flashed, any ideas??? Or are Supra lights relly that poor:search: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suprash Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Mate the headlights can be that poor, I had facelift plastics on the car as standard and swapped them for UK glass, 3 times better..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mas Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 I have facelifts with xenons and they not bad at all, you sure you have the right bulbs though? if you still have your stock lenses it tells you what to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markjodrell Posted March 20, 2007 Author Share Posted March 20, 2007 Ive put in HB3 (9005) bulbs in dipped and main. I might try another make of bulb, the ones I got were very cheap off ebay.So it could be just crap bulbs With the blue ish Xeon bulbs, is the glass actually blue glass or is it painted on? With my bulbs due to handling the glass (I know you shouldnt) the blue actually rubbed off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SatSport Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 identical set-up here, facelifts with 55W dip and 100W high. Get flashed pretty often tbh but have them set ok and tested at the MOT fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markjodrell Posted March 20, 2007 Author Share Posted March 20, 2007 I think I will go back to the garage and ask him to double check the adjustment, they were too high and Im wondering if he may have lowered them too much. Either that or by bulbs are poor quality if thats possible. Is it just the dipped beam that can be adjusted ?????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merckx Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Is the adjustment available only for the dipped beam or is there an adjuster for the main as well independently Adjustment on both together , they're fixed on the same bracket inside the headlight.

markjodrell Posted March 23, 2007 Author Share Posted March 23, 2007 Just been checking my lights again against a wall, the main and dipped shine at the same height, I would have expected the main to be much higher.As I have said I have 100w main and 55 dipped xeons and my lenses are crystal clear, yet the lights are crap. Is the main and dipped set at the same height as you cannot adjust independently ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
