Default Fantastic...But cant see a thing ?

Hi Guys..

First post.

Collected my new 04 STI with PPP on the first of march. Cant use it much as the recommended run in 1000 miles, but last night used the lights for the first time and they are BAD. Thank god I cant push the car as it may already be in a field.

Any Ideas from you guys as to what to do to upgrade the lighting ?

Its bad enough not not being able to cross 4000rpm but now I cant see anything at night either.

Question

The '04 lights aren't reckoned to be TOO bad.........you should try a classic:

Seriuosly, have you looked at:
1. the alignment..........it's not unknown for new cars to be miles out.
2. does the catr have electric headlight levelling? Is it set to LOW?

Osram Silver Star are available for £12 inc delivery on Ebay, that's for the pair.

I have the Philips Vision Plus in mine, a big improvement over the standard bulbs, but the Osram's are supposed to be slightly better.
