'09 Jazz, rubbish lights

[ScotHill]

Now the dark evenings are back we're noticing how poor the lights are on our Jazz - the dipped beam doesn't extend very far in front of the car, and it doesn't feel bright enough to give confidence when driving where there are no street lights, particularly if it's raining/wet.

Do we have any options for upgrading them - would it just be higher powered bulbs?

There's a little wheel on the right hand side that looks like it is supposed to alter the angle of the beam, but doesn't seem to do anything - is this supposed to adjust brightness or angle or something else?

Not that I've noticed, I'm guessing it shouldn't be a subtle difference. I'll check again.

If it's locked in the down position that might explain why visibility is so poor!

My GF has a Jazz and I drove it and thought the same. That switch made the difference but it was slow to change. A quick flick up and down won't give it enough time for it to change.

Yes I tried it and it does work but the lights are still mince.

Would stronger bulbs make a difference? How would I know what to order?
