I live along a 1 mile long unmade road and dont have headlight problems, though its quite bumpy!Potholes.
Had them in one of my Minis, melted the headlight switch. I did also have 4 Lucas 700 spots on a works rally lamp bar. You can never have too much light on the road.I remember them, think they were 100/80W instead of the road legal 60/55W.
Have an aftermarket hid kit from Auto bulbs direct in my Freelander 2. Standard Hb3 bulbs were crap, poor light and lasted no time. The hid kit is literally night and day different. Not technically road legal but doesn't dazzle other road users and passes mot with no issues.A good LED replacement bulb may fair better although they are not technically legal (not in the UK at any rate if fitted into a "normal" incandescent lense).
The actual bulb filament is very fragile and the road you described won't help.
Local bike garage says they can be legal, if the beam pattern falls within MOT regs.A good LED replacement bulb may fair better although they are not technically legal (not in the UK at any rate if fitted into a "normal" incandescent lense).
Well dip me in chocolate and throw me to the lesbians
Given that I do less than a quarter of the mileage per year of the company vans, it’s unlikely as they also used to only pop one set a year. You would have thunk that if it was a mounting issue, the more mileage you did per year, the more bulbs you would go through. 10k or 40k miles a year, same result, one set of bulbsPerhaps it is just the design/mounting of the headlamp transferring too much vibration into the headlamp?![]()
Never heard that phrase before. Cheered me up no end that has![]()
