Question

Can't say I'm impressed with the amount of light output on Morrettes on MY01.Intend to get the bulbs upgraded shortly.

Question is, I've asked my dealer twice to sort out alignment and i'm still not satisfied. Its difficult to describe but at night I see two distinct light patterns on the road, which overlap. where do i go to get a proper alignment check done?

I had mine fitted by Scoobysport and Pete suggested that I get it checked at an MOT centre

So of to Halfords £5 and there perfect now

Big tip get a price first as it took the engineer 1/2 hour to sus it and said he really should have charged me more

Mark,
Philips Vision Plus bulbs are rated very highly amongst fellow Scoobynetters.I put them in my standard bugeyes and also in my Prodrive headlamps now and they are much 'whiter'. (They claim a 50% increase in light without any increase in wattage - ie no added strain on wiring loom)
If you order them from Powerbulbs website you get the side lights free (Normally around £7 for sidelights and £20 all in)
You have my email address if you need to ask anything else?

Good luck

Nick

they are a pig to do, after i had sussed it out i found the easiest way to adjust them was to take them off the car tweek them a bit then bolt them back in and see. takes ages and a lot of faffing around but it saves the blood pressure and tearing your hair out.
