    Pre-FL 8V Xenons - Poor Light Ouput

    I finally had a free evening and decided to have a look at adjusting the headlights - fortunately, my driveway / car port is dead flat with 3 sides and the beams were definitely pointing too far down. I've adjusted them so they shoot a bit higher now (within the correct range) but light output...

    Pre-FL 8V Xenons - Poor Light Ouput

    Thanks for this - I'll have a look at the alignment at the weekend when I next get a chance. Fortunately, there are plenty of quiet/dead single lane flat roads near me with hedges at either side so it shouldn't be too difficult.

    Pre-FL 8V Xenons - Poor Light Ouput

    Everything, as far as I'm aware is at it should be. I've had many cars over the years with Xenons and these are by far the worst. The light is fairly blue in comparison to other cars I've run, so I'm starting to think there could be some inferior afermarket bulbs. Either way, I'll be replacing...

    Post Pics Of Your A3/S3 8v In Here

    A lot better than a Td6 Range Rover! I can tell you that much! :thumbs up: I'm averaging 58-60mpg on my daily commute which is 60miles there and back, a mix of B-road and light traffic

    Pre-FL 8V Xenons - Poor Light Ouput

    Yes, the last car I had with lights this bad was an '89 VW Corrado. Hopefully, some new bulbs might at least be a bit of an improvement. I'll have a look - they seem to be in the right place, just not very bright... Thanks!

    Pre-FL 8V Xenons - Poor Light Ouput

    I have a 2014 8V TDi Sportback with the Xenons and the light output seems to be horrendous - on dipped beam they're no better than a pair of tea lights in a fishbowl. Is this a common observation, and are there any recommended upgrades? My old 2004 Range Rover Vogue had much brighter bulbs but...

    Post Pics Of Your A3/S3 8v In Here

    My first post on here since 2014 :blink: Been driving Range Rovers over the last few years and then moved back into an office job back in May so needed something a bit more "frugal" and ended up with this 2014 2.0 tdi Sportback S-Line. Liking it so far, just needs a few little bits updating...

    Duxford Spring Car Show - 04/05/2014

    Is there anything planned for the Duxford Spring Car Show? (Spring Car Show | Imperial War Museums) My mate goes with the BMW car club every year and said it was really good! Might be alright to get a group together.

    A bit of a re-introduction...

    So I was a member on here many years ago with a bright yellow 1.8t B5 but then moved over to various BMW's. Merc's and a Mini Cooper S, but now i'm back with a 2001 D2 A8 Quattro Sport - the 2.8 engine with a decat exhaust. Not much done yet, other than upgrading most of the bulbs, debadging...
