Additional front lights
Discussion

I would like there to be extra driving lights situated like the Vanquish/DB7 but used as driving lights rather than fogs - as mentioned above different beam pattern and lens type so would not dazzle necessarily, especially as they'd be so low down. I also think they look very good when not lit, they provided a nice detail on my DB7 Vantage.
There's the answer then - get a decent car like the DB7 Vantage

I have the same issue as the above. My lights to swing up but the beam has a cut off only a few yards in front of the car. On an unlit dual carriageway last week it felt unsafe at anything over 50mph. Any ideas???
Earlier this year I experienced exactly the same thing - then I took it to a dealer, they confirmed it was out of alignment and took 10 mins adjusting the pair of them. I now feel a lot safer driving on un-lit fast dual carriage ways late at night. Hopefully, adjusting them will be the simple solution for everyone else.Jockman said:
Why do people drive their Astons in the dark anyway ???
Seems very mean to deprive the general public of such an orgasmic visual experience
I guess because the Vantage lot are allowed out after 4pm and need to get from A to B.Seems very mean to deprive the general public of such an orgasmic visual experience
For fear of reopening old wounds (!) it's normally time to empty the bag and give you a bath by then!

Are you suggesting that a V8V may be better driven in the dark Peter ??For fear of reopening old wounds (!) it's normally time to empty the bag and give you a bath by then!
In which case....
TBH I do prefer the front lights on the Vantage, as encapsulated by the Virage

The lights on my Aston are not as bright as on my Toaureg, or the Z4. Maybe because the other two are 2010 cars and the Aston is a 2004 build, but the fact remains they are no where near as good.
Whilst I appreciate that the norm on PH is to slate any post or idea first, and then engage brain later it does become tiresome when people start calling you a tosser for no reason. Seriously, get a life. You wouldn't say it to me in a pub so don't say it on here. I also dont like fog lights, not becuase they are additional illumination but because the lenses, bulbs and reflectors are not designed to be used as driving lights. That is why they blind you in good light.
To be honest aethetically it shouldnt show as they'll be behind the grill, and when on they will be correctly angled to illuminate the road ahead and hopefully give me a little further visibility and spread.
Until deer start wearing flourescent jackets i'd rather be safe than sorry
