I tried a search on this but couldn't find anything. Out last night in the Sag and the headlights are just average, is this how they all are? Main beam seems fine but blinds other drivers, looking to increase the brightness of the standard dipped beam. As far as I'm aware the current headlights are standard to the car. I don't drive a lot at night but with the days getting shorter from here on in figured be worth checking out

Does anyone have any advice on upgrade options?

er, doesnt main beam always blind other drivers? You are supposed to turn main beams off for this reason.

Not a Sag owner, but have had plenty of sports cars and my observation is that low mounted lights = less visibility, they are pretty low on the Sag so that may be part of it

Do you have xenons or standard headlights?
I have the Xenons and no complaints whatsoever.

The Tamora I had beforehand had the standard headlights. Upgrading the bulb to a decent peformance bulb made the world of difference.

I dont know anything about it apart from what I've seen on the website, but I noticed the other day that Central TVR are advertising xenon upgrades for £150 plus VAT.

The lights on my Sag are fantastic, full xenons with Gas Discharge Main Beam Headlights I thought were standard.

Loads better than the candles that were fitted to the Griff.

The Sag came with xenons from the factory (optional extra) and simply £20\£30 replacement bulbs for the Tamora.
