Lights or lack of them
The main beam headlights on my recently acquired ST Line X are dire. First time driving in the dark tonight and it’s as though main beam might as well not be there. They are yellow tinged and do not throw over a good distance. Height setting is on zero. If you think these lights are acceptable you haven’t driven behind LEDs. Anyone got alternative bulbs fitted ?
ST Line X
I take it that's the standard projection headlamps? I have the fixed LED's with auto levelling, which, as you say, are far better. That said they should be, last time I looked they are now a £700ish option.AllanI wrote: ↑Sun Mar 27, 2022 8:34 pm The main beam headlights on my recently acquired ST Line X are dire.

I can't find it right now, but, I'm sure there was some discussion about aftermarket LED bulbs. somewhere on here.

I drove back from Malton last night in pitch black and never had a problem. Full beams are fine for me. Dips are LED. Maybe I’m just good in the darkAllanI wrote: ↑Sun Mar 27, 2022 8:34 pm The main beam headlights on my recently acquired ST Line X are dire.

Just like to add my ha'peth to the comments re main beam being ineffective. I'm assuming it lights the road up ahead but I don't see much evicence of that. Basic Titanium mild hybrid.
