Subject: Main beams with HID Xenon healamps
Posted: 23 Feb 2014 at 8:33pm
This applies to Kuga's with Xenon headlights.
I don’t know if the MK1 have main beams are like the MK2s, but has anyone tested the main beams at night with the Xenon headlights off?
As expected when main beam is operated when Xenon’s are on, that the gate in the Bi-Xenon headlights flips to give the long range but the main beam which isnt a main beam really, fills in the road about 6m in front of the car. It was only last night I turned the headlights off so just sidelights were on and then flashed the supposed main beam. Are anyone else’s ‘main beam’ like mine, pathetic and dont seem shine anywhere but everywhere than the road ahead. Cant see any driver seeing these when you flash them in the daytime. Maybe they are really just ‘get you home lights’.
