Astina Headlights

repsol1 · 13-05-2011, 11:51 PM

I found that the headlights of the Astina is very weak. Any suggestions to improve the headlights. Do you get spotlight that fit in the spoiler part of the front bumper. I know you get fog lights but that will not help

Do not do this unless you have projector headlamps already. If you've got a BG [pop-ups] they use the reflector system and couple that with a HID kit and you're blinding everyone on the road as they don't focus. I'm just running some H4 Philips Blue-Vision bulbs in natural white [6000 lumen i think].

i got 35w HID's for my BA and they are just as bad as the stock lights although pretty blue/white colour
they seem to shine out sideways as the globe is long it protrudes past the reflector and also shines down lighting up the inside of the bumper
i might try 55w but i think i'll just spend the money on a decent set or driving lights

you guys clearly didnt get the kit i got then... 35W is bloody bright if its 1/2 decent quality... gave myself a headache from looking at mine for a split second crouching down. High beam is just stupid too... (think seeing things almost 1km away)

Me thinks misaligned globes.
