  1. i feel that my xenons are really good for about 5 metres then nothing!
    Is this normal
    A mechanic friend of mine said that he has seen cars with xenons where the inside of the lens had became cloudy effecting the efficiency of the beams. Anyone had this?
     
  2. I have xenons on my 250 and I find them brilliant, alot better than the candles in my other car :grimacing:
     
  3. Have you checked the adjuster in the car to see if it has been played with?
     
  4. Mine are great untill untill you go on uneven roads over 70mph. The xeons bounce up and down I duno if this a common problem or just mine. Anyone else have this problem?
     
  5. glad its not just me then, i was going to post this question lol

  6. A little bit of electrical tape round the mounting points should cure that.

  7. Shouldn't be the adjuster should it? They do that themselves don't they (the little dance they do when you 1st turn them on)
     
  8. Xenons don't have an adjuster in the car like the halogens do.

    They adjust themselves depending on the load you're carrying.

  9. Where abouts is this? I'll have to have look over the lights at the weekend
     
  10. They are alot better then the halogen cars I've had before, can't really compare to other xenon's tough.

    Can see fine beyond 5 meters aswel
     
  11. All xenon cars must have auto self leveling lights its a law, but if the sensor front or rear has come loose or broken lights can be short

  12. My R26 has Xenons and they're the same, 30 ft of incredible white light, then nothing.
    I find it really difficult to drive faster than granny pace on unlit roads at night if I can't use full beam.
    My pal had a brand new Clio R27 with Xenons and they used to bounce a lot. It was the most irritating thing if he was following me on a bumpy road.

  13. Probably burned reflector bowls, the fog that is on the projector lens is from burned material.
    This is more than usual if fitting aftermarket bulbs with no UV filter (a special blend of glass is used on genuine bulbs that filters most of UV ligjt out
