antnee Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 I hope your not someone who doesnt adjust your lights according to the road your on! should only be set on highest for country lane driving, follow by m-ways duals etc, the lowest setting for around town.

evoboy Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 joke is rofl I have a passenger light adjustment - i think most cars do Mines set to 0 - highest setting as i like to see far ahead as possible when driving at night No HID kits aren't an option Ziggy so your one of these people that couldnt give a damn about anyone else on the road, ill remember next time im blinded on a unlit road with deepverges either side when out on the bike litterally have to stop as i cant see anything .....those blue xenon jobbies that change colour all the time are the worst!

There still not that high tho, on 3 there basicall pointing down on 0 there just about 1m/1.5m infront of me And the majority of the roads im on when dark are unlit so yes they remain on 0 Most of the time tho im only on dipped lights/side lights and there about a bright as a lemon in a power station Ziggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oli1983uk Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 The 1 - 3 adjustment on the headlights are for when you have quite a bit of weight in the back of the car, you adjust it depending on how much the front of the lifts up when you have weight in the back so it wont be blinding anyone, I always leave mine on 0.

Oli1983uk Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 It will also depends if the mod will give you more power as when i was telling them about it they was asking if it will increase the bhp of the car. if i had said yes to that it would have increased the price of my insurance.

ebonic Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 insuring my car is a right nightmare. i have to tell them everything and how it affects BHP and what it was standard and then i have to explain that ARB's dont make any difference to BHP to the gimp on the phone... dunno why i bother. Anyway the auto glym SRP wont remove swirls, it just fills them in. so dont be dissapointed when they come back a week down the line. also the extra gloss is a sealant not a polish. if you rub it in like a polish you will remove the SRP. hope that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebonic Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 (edited) no it dont. it fills them. check out cleanyourcar.co.uk/forum or detailingworld.com for more details. if you want to remove paint or clear coat you need summat like menz or sonus on a pc or rotory, or a hell of a lot of elbow grease.
