I went from a older Paj to the Falcon with the "awesome" headlights Thought something was wrong. Either way - the headlights on either aren't anything to write home about :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k31th less WHY; more WOT Site Developer 28,302 Member For: 16y 14d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 08/04/18 11:04 AM Share Posted 08/04/18 11:04 AM To add to that, anything that is worthy of "writing home about" is blinding to everybody else on the road, so it's a bit of a catch-22. Projector style has a very clean cut off and a clean light dispersion. It illuminates more evenly and doesn't waste as much light. Will definitely blind people as you go over hills as they "look" uber-bright anywhere below the clearly defined cut-off line. Reflector type has a lot of mirrors to "reflect" the light in a reasonable location but as it disperses the light, more of it is wasted. HID replacement bulbs helps A LOT (in both projector and reflector style headlight arrays) due to the extra light output, but need reasonable aiming after installation or you'll just be blinding other people.

Ok I know this has nothing to do with headlights but I didn't finish my roast chicken dinner cos the missus gave me half a chicken, a whole roast onion, several roast spuds, several roast carrots and a bunch of gravy. I'll finish that off first and maybe make a killer omelette for brekky. Sorry for the diversion lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
