Went to the footy tonight to see Richmond get smashed.
Anyway after returning to the train station dejected to pick up the trusty ED GLi, I noticed I couldn't see the road a little more than usual. At the traffic lights, got out and had a look and the driver's side headlight was just on the parker globe. Now that my driver's side headlight is out, my car is unroadworthy, so I need to get it replaced by night-time tomorrow. My question is this: Is it just the two E-series cars I've had or do all stock standard headlight globes suck? I mean, I can hardly see the road when both headlights work. My second question is: If the headlight globes do suck, what can I get to make them brighter? Cheers. S. |

Replace the globes with heavy duty ones maybe? If they are the same globes that came with the car over a decade.

Get Narva +50s. They are a little (!) more expensive than standard replacements (around $30 a pair compared to $15), but are well worth it.
And yes, all E series lights suck, except the XRs. The lights in the AU, both XR and standard, are the best lights I've had on any car, though the twinlight XR style lights I had on the EB Fairmont Ghia were a close second to the AUs.

Well I went and got the Xeon globes and fitted them.
Nice bright globe at 150 watts. I think I may have the yellow tint around the lenses, so I will have to polish them up using the ideas from the thread that I read the other night. As for the legalities of the globes? I don't know, but I'm endeaovuring to find out. |
