Well as some of you know, i now have mine fitted, and 1st night noticed with my lights on normal beam i couldnt see fuck all. So i decided it was due to bulbs being shit and drove with high beam on when i needed to.

Tonight i treckked out to asda and uptill now i avoided driving in the dark..

got to asda and realised my normal beam lights wernt even working, anyone know why this could be? Matt and Rich fitted them, i wont blame them, either somethings gone wrong or its a fault with the light??

what shall i do???

[Payney]

If Matt and Rich fitted them, my money is on the faulty lights...

[lavo-vts]

check all the connection aim, also check the bulbs aint fooked + do they have a seperate relay like morrettes?

[Amiee]

i have nooooo idea, ill have a look tomorrow in the light, not that i will be able to check them as i dont have a clue but thanks

[Payney]

Check fuses aswell. ;)

[Predator_R32]

yeah as anth said could be a fuse or the wire shorting out on something, do you know how or know anyone with a multimeter to test the wire

[Amiee]

i think my dad has one, but they have never worked not had them in a week yet

[Payney]

Brand new or?

[Predator_R32]

check the fuses and see if theres any current there when you switch tje headlights on if so then just send them back as it must be a fault with them

[Amiee]

brand newwwwwwww

[matthewslee]

[Predator_R32]

[Amiee]

essex racing i think it was

correct, brought them a while back but fitted them last thursday!! week today actually lol ill have to get my dad to have a look at them see if theres a prob, if there is ill tell them!!

problem is, now rich has part of my headlights lol i wont be able to drive the car in the dark at all

[matthewslee]

check the fuse 1st then the wireing make sure they all conected properly if that dont sort it go to a garage and have them checked to make sure its not the light fittings them selfs no point in buying new bulbs and still not working. had mine fitted at local garage £10

[CloVis]

MIne do this, they also point in the air! Not to great. Also have you used full beam when foggy? not good..

[Amiee]

thanks for advice guys n gals, not had chance to get out there and look at them yet, been too busy so will have to wait untill later, but deffo need them sorting

also clo have you tried adjusting them? from inside the car lol or the light itself? iv heard it can be done

[CloVis]

Yeh i have, to be honist i think its the way they sit on the bumper. But couldnt say for sure.

[furioAL]

The headlight bulbs themselves are simple plug and play from the original headlights... so check they didn't forget to plug the headlights in :p otherwise it's more than likely an electrical problem like a short circuit... as i doubt both bulbs would go that quickly...

As for adjusting them.. angel eyes cannot be adjusted from inside the car.. as they have no adjuster motors.. they can be manually adjusted on the back of the headlight unit... best to get them adjusted when having and MOT or service so they are adjusted correctly to not blind oncoming traffic...

Clo - as for not being able to see with full beam on when foggy.. i dont think your meant to use full beam when foggy.. it makes it worse regardless of your lights... you should use the standard headlights... and foglights to improve visibility (im you have them)...

Check the bulbs. I found mine wernt the best so bought better bulbs. And they just kept blowing. Went through about £20 worth of bulbs.

Adjusting them is a nightmare. As the bulb rocks kinda when you turn the thing. So its hard to see them changing any if looked at on a wall. As mine where pointing right up when i first got them. Pointing all over the place now but manage to light up enough of the road lol.

[Payney]

You say you bought them ages ago aswell, they have been stored in a dry place?

[Wade]

I'm with the check fuses.

[Amiee]

yeh they were kept in my bedroom,

[Amiee]
