HID bulbs

[Diesel Do Nicely Brian]

I find the HID's superb - and I have had several cars with HID's.

The bulbs degrade over time apparently so maybe time for some new D4S bulbs?

I have replaced my "noname bulbes" they had nothing written on them, so I only assume they were D2S, hence they were like candle sticks and very blue colour.

I have ordered some Osram Xenarc D4S and just installed them today, but I have to say although a massive improvement to the previous bulbs, they are no where near as strong headlights I used to have on my Honda Legend D2S's and on my BMW 745i D2S's .

I still cannot understand why my AFS is not working :( .... no malfunction on the dash and the system is not switched off.

KentIS300 please let us know if you solve your AFS problem. I don't think mine works either.

The similar system on my Honda Legend was working from 5mph and above.

Having had an RX400h before I remember the AFS was working around 25ish mph and above.

However I only changed the bulbs today, trust me my lights were so poor I could not see what were they doing. I do not think it is working though.

I am installing a new TIS  latest version on my laptop and will do a proper complete scan to see if there is anything there.
