I suppose I should get off my butt and check. It’s raining though ;-)
Yes that’s correct dipped stays on. My point was that there’s very little extra light with the main beam on and appears dim compared to the bright white of the LEDs.

Hope that helps?

BTW auto high beam works a treat for me.

Thanks. I thought that should be the case. So I can expect them to be better than my halogens on the Focus but not as good as those with full led?

I think you will see an improvement, the LEDs are much better than halogen. I came from an all halogen fiesta and was blown away by the LED lights.
It’s possible that you will be happy with the main beam, I just feel that they’re disappointing after the excellent light of the LED…

Cheers. I must go out one night and try them. I’m sure they will eclipse the Focus halogens I had.

I had trouble with night vision and more or less gave up driving in the dark unless it was around town and well lit....Since getting the Puma I tried it again and it's like (Pun coming :roll: ) night and day....Back to night driving... :D

Go for the fixed LED option. You won’t regret it, plus it’ll be an extra selling point in the future setting yours apart from the rest.

I came from a Kuga ST X line which had xenons, I thought they were good untill the Puma. I have the full LEDs and they are excellent. Pure white light and the auto main beam works brilliantly.

I’ve got auto main beam disabled until I get a chance to test it, seemed a bit dodgy to me!

Glad to hear the consensus seems to be that it works though
