hi
trying to get my head lights a bit better
according to the Wiki manual, i have Bi-xenon headlamps
it goes on to say that both head and dip use Halogen bulbs
then it says, main beam, halogen 55w bulb
dip/main beam, Xenon bulb (doesn't mention the wattage)
the dip/main beam looks bright enough but the halogen main beam is a yellow/orange coulor
the yellow/orange coulor doesn't look right to me, like its not getting the voltage
it might be a silly question but i will ask it any way
can, or is it any advantage to replace the bulbs with a different kind of bulb (LED may be)
has any one else had problems similar to this, how did you fix it RR 2005 4.4 petrol

your xenons will have a shutter that focuses the light from dip to main..the colour temperature is 4300k which gives a yellowy light...some ,like myself ,have changed these xenons to 6000k which give a more whiter light..
although technically less brighter than the 4300k they do illuminate the road better.

the halogens are H7 bulbs and again some have replaced with 'whiter' bulbs or led type. a forum search will help with that one....

bought some LEDs, haven't fitted them yet
took the car to get the lights adjusted, the left high/low wasn't throwing a beam
looks like the bulb wasn't fitted properly, its a lot better now RR 2005 4.4 petrol

i am stumped, i am trying to get the reflectors out of the black plastic case
any ideas

The xenon surround just clips on and is an easy removal... I seem to remember the big one was on fierce poppers...

Oh and dont touch the chrome with your fingers! Just the oils in your fingers will ruin the chrome! And DONT try chemicals to clean them either! They are not like normal chrome! They are made never to be in the outside environment...

from what i can see, the original globe, coulor temp is 4200.
this is a 35W globe, to go to a 6000 which apparently is no brighter, is a 55W globe
thats an increase in wattage of over 50%
would it be safe to do that RR 2005 4.4 petrol

happy with them now
once the bulb was fitted properly
after all that the lamps just needed adjusting, but getting them adjusted properly was a problem RR 2005 4.4 petrol
