MY 16 halogen headlights

Good evening all, I’ve currently borrowed one of my colleagues my16 disco 4 with halogen headlights. All the others in he fleet have xenon. My word they are terrible! Is there any way other than a headlight swap to make them better? Do HI2R led headlanp bulbs such as those from Phillips at £80 actually work? . Was appalled at how bad they were on wet dark roads last night [/list]

The Xenon ones are not much better, preferred the ones pre facelift which I had on the MY13.

Rubbish. The MY16 lights are perfectly fine, maybe not quite as good as the earlier ones though.

You could change them for Xenon or LED.

The point was that there is no comparison between the Halogens and Xenons. It’s loke night and day 🤭

^ you have the xenons if you have got the drl lines around the light. Unless some Censored has swapped them out you about 100% guaranteed to have xenons on a graphite.

Only bog standard commercials and GS/ SE models in the MY14 facelift models were unfortunate enough to get the dire halogen units - the worst output of all D3/4 models Thumbs Up Stolen - D4 Loire Blue

GE Megalights are a huge improvement over standard halogen bulbs.

My MY16 D4 headlights are bright enough but the throw on them does not give a view of the road far enough ahead, in my opinion. This is especially apparent on quiet,unlit motorways travelling at 70mph.
Is there anything I can do about it? There is no adjustment upwards to increase the throw as far as I can tell. Full beam is fine though.

Adding that I believe I have xenons as I have the DRL light band around the bottom of the headlight
Any suggestions?

Thanks Gary
