Does anyone have a problem with there lights being dipped too much? My main beams are awesome but once I flick them off I can’t see anything past about 10 meters or so with the normal lights. Does anyone know if they are relatively easy to adjust? Is it also worth a look at some new bulbs, any recommendation?
Any help greatly appreciated cheers.

Basically you buy a set of H9 bulbs same as used in full beam lights and snip a piece of plastic out from the bulb so they fit in the H11 sockets of the normal dipped beam. Only 10w brighter so no worries with power or melting cables and huge increase in actual effectiveness of the lights. One of the most common mods to carry out. I got my bulbs from consumabulbs.com for about 8 quid each.

In fact I just ordered a spare set as this reminded me I had intended to get some before the winter came in.

Or just wind the adjusters up a bit. Works for me and doesn't cost a penny. Don't go crazy though, or you'll blind everyone coming in the opposite direction.

Mine was pants out of the box, but just park up in a dark quiet lane and wind em up till the go a sensible distance. Still not brilliant, but quite acceptable.
