First: the driving lights (low beams) are seriously insufficient.
After reading through many threads and complaints regarding the dismal lighting these rigs have, I need some help.
My V10 has the HID D1S bulbs (Genuine NEW Phillips/Osram). They're new because after reading how over time they lose their brightness over time I bought new ones in hopes of a fix -not sure if the former owners of this rig had replaced them.
Nada. No different.
My headlights are clear (not yellowed or hazy).
They're adjusted correctly too.
The turn signals seem brighter at night than these excuses for headlights.
I'm shadowed by nearly everyone elses lights on the road.
Average lumen output by D1S units are 3200 lumens (Everything you ever wanted to know about HID bulbs.
I'm sure it's much lower than that on these rigs.
Has anyone really come across a real fix for this issue? And I mean brighter low beams that actually work.
I'm leaning towards an LED D1S replacement. most are 2x the lumens of a D1S HID bulb. For instance:90W 9000LM D1S D3S 4 Philips Luxeon MZ Headlight Low Beam Detachable White LED | eBay
I've already VAG'd it for the 6 light salute (better then when I first got it) but I'm leaning towards a set of night vision goggles short of using the highbeams all the time.
