Does anybody have any thoughts or experiences, good or bad, on these setups please?
Here's the older lights. Ok when on full beam. Not so great when just on main beam. Especially in winter.
The sidelights have already been upgraded. Sidelight Bulb Changing Guide - MGTF Sidelight change and upgrade guide.

Posted 14 years 2 days ago #58446I'll do the how to guide on returning from Cumbria. Maybe they won't be so bad with the lower end of the scale 4300k bulbs. They're like Creamy White and are what all new 'hid' equipped cars mostly use. Did you know that?
We'll see (intended).

Posted 14 years 2 days ago #58449That's the plan Ben. I've already recorded some night driving in my TF to show the Elton John headlights in use (Candles in the wind). :lol: and I'll make a comparative video once the new ones are installed. I'll get my son, daughter or my good lady to drive past me the other way a few times to get their opinions too. If it turns out they're too extreme then I'll switch back and reconsider some type of different bulb upgrade.bensewell wrote: Do it
If they do turn out ok, or better, then it may end up being a very popular 30 quid mod. I appreciate the counter arguments may come. But I'm still going to give it a try whatever now that they're paid for. Fingers crossed.

Oooooh You nasty cow!
I think us F'ers have the luxury of knowing that the original is the best and that we aren't just some old facelift. So naaaaaah!
Miaooow!!

As for the proposed new lights.. well you can see from the pic below that the 4300k bulbs (use your imagination) shouldn't dazzle too much comparatively.
Anyway, not wishing to cause any hassle, I have decided not to fit this mod to my car after all. But, seeing as I have it coming, I will show how to put it on prior to immediately removing it forever and ever. Amen.
