Omega General Help / Headlights again..

« on: 09 November 2014, 14:41:19 »

After my thread a yr ago about headlights on my 20i 16v, and the great help i received about cleaning and using osram day breakers.. they were alot lot better.. after this yrs mot ,and a few marks against the headlights, i thought i would invest in some new ones..i bought some Depo aftermaket ones, fitted brill,earth lug was bit weak. but all in all look brill.- had them set up sat at my local garage,, and basicly iam very disaapointed in them- high beam is fine.. but dip- worse than old lights.. nothing 3mtrs in front of car- like i"ve got no lights on driving under street lights.. i no you get wot you pay for.. i just thought these would help alot to have a unmarked and grubby lense.. Anyone else purchased these??

Omega General Help / New headlights

« on: 09 November 2013, 10:27:59 »

The headlights on my 98 20i  -as most do had faded, i went down the path of cleaning them up they are still not perfect but it made them- 50% better - high beam is fine - dip is were iam not happy..  i have even gone up to 80 watts on the dip bulbs.. they are fine if iam only one on road, but as soon as theres a car coming the other way on dip its like mine fad away and appear dull and is not good when raining as well.. so iam going to bite the bullet and buy some new after market front headlights - had a look on egay and there seems to be alot to choose from, ace parts etc seem to do some good deals with free postage.. can anyone recommend a good supply /dealer to purchase from?    thanks Wil.
