You have HID's......and the facelift ones seem better than the early setup to (I supect because there is less in the way of the light)

ahhh, oh well, i will next time.

mind you the headlights on my N reg are shall we say a little on the poor side, even with 50% brighter bulbs fitted (clear lensed bulbs) , the only way to see clearly is to spray the lenses with WD40 and wipe clear. really looking forward to another of these beasts but with good lighting for night driving.
