I think I have read on here that the dipped beam headlights on an X-Types are notorious for being poor, and mine fit the bill perfectly.  On unlit country roads, they are as useless and I end up just aiming to the left of any oncoming car and hope for the best!

 

Does anybody here have any suggestions to replacement bulbs  that I can do myself or would you recommend the HID units, and how easy are these to replace?  If you recommend the HID units, do you have any ideas on where I might get some, and how much I might expect to pay?

 

Thanks for any help,

HID lamps are very effective however can be quite expensive;

Obviously you will note from the link thats Halfrauds price, you will no doubt get them cheaper online or at a local motor factors

You may also wish to take a look at this site Paul;

Has anybody else heard the rumour that I heard today that the new MoT will be an automatic fail for retro fit HIDs?

 

The guy in the accessory shop suggested that I just opt for the replacement bulbs - does anybody have experience of them and are they any good, or is it worth the extra expense and go for HIDs?

 

Thanks for your help so far,

Not heard that one yet Paul
