Headlights
« on: November 14, 2012, 05:03:50 PM »
I`ve noticed that there seems to be 2 different layouts for the headlights.
On mine the low beam is the lower projector headlights,high beam is the top most set.
Is this a country specific thing,or year specific?
Reason i ask is that even though the light emitted by the projector beams is good,from other road users view,they don`t seem very bright,and as such dont get noticed as much as normal headlights.
High beam is fine and far brighter from another road users view.
I think from a safety perspective i would rather have the normal lights for low beam with the projector beams for high.

Thought I was losing it after seeing different pictures and videos.   ???

In North America the always on - lo beams are the top lights, the hi beams are the lower projector lights.  My hi beams are useless even with 55w xenon bulbs.  The lo beams are much better with 55w xenon bulbs.

Wow, that's different from our ASEAN versions,

Our low beams are the lower projector headlights and our high beams are the upper headlights.
