I have a corrado and the headlights are terrible as any other corrado owner will tell you.

I have seen an upgrade loom that you can install but cant seem to find anybody who supplies a decent kit.

Ive been on ebay (yes i know) and there are Bi-Xenon dual beem kits on there for about £50.

Has anybody had any experience with these?

Thanks

I was considering this upgrade but the garage told me it was a right pain to do so recommended I try Xenon bulbs. I use these now and so far they have been quite satisfactory. I now use full beam at night on country roads a great deal more.

Wire them directly to the battery and use a relay (and the relevant fusing) switched by the old headlight circuit to turn this circuit on/off.

I did this with my old mkII golf and the difference was night and day (pun intended wink)

One of those and the brightest bulbs you're prepared to fit; I run 100/65 but they're safe to 130 on my private night time country roads.

HID conversions in my experience give really rubbish beam patterns.
