Apart from messing around fitting the bi xenon headlights.
What bulbs have people found the best to improve the shocking standard ones?

Re: Headlight bulbs
I have just fitted led h7 bulbs

Took a bit of messing around with to get the beam pattern right

Try these, much whiter light than Oem. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00 ... UTF8&psc=1
Search out how legal led bulbs are to use on the road before going that route for your lighting.

Did you change your wiring? Blue Boost is 80w vs normal 55w.Caddy0802 wrote:Not impressed at all with these yes there brighter but colour change..nahh.

Re: Headlight bulbs
No I've not fitted these yet as I had to give my caddy back to the dealer for a full refund as they couldn't fix my turbo. Whats the process for re wiring and does it give a big difference to the bulbs?moipogi wrote: Did you change your wiring? Blue Boost is 80w vs normal 55w.

Re: Headlight bulbs
Has anyone experimented with the headlight dimming settings in the body control module?
Mine is set to 13v but you can go up to 13.6v.
I find the lights are reasonable for a basic/standard setup.

Re: Headlight bulbs
You can turn it off completely and if you have Bluemotion Technology you'll get 15.4V under regenerative braking. But it's probably not a good idea.
You honestly won't notice much improvement by just increasing the voltage. I prefer to just keep my headlights clean so as to get the most out of what I have.
