Yeh i noticed that too when i first got it. With CD spec, its worth at this time of the year giving headlights quick wipe with a cloth before a night drive :y

When I first drove in the dark with `em I thought my adjustment was miles out, o/s lights up the centre white lines

Post by: Debs. on 30 October 2010, 17:42:53: Most of my driving is on unlit, twisty, rural-roads and I`ve been horrified by how poor the dipped headlamps are on my T reg. Miggy; I bought some better dipped-lamps (the high-beams always seems good enough).....the 'Osram: 50% brighter' Halfrauds bulbs did make a bit of difference, but what made the greatest improvement was adjusting the headlamp`s electric level-switch to it`s absolutely lowest setting, which does significantly improve the 'view' of the nearside kerb area when on dip.

My M reg. L.R Discovery with it`s completely std. 60/55 H4 lamp units has soooooo much better`a dip beam pattern.....so much in fact, that I`d swear it has twice the wattage of the Miggy`s dipped lamps. :-?
