Recently Had crossfire mot'd in UK told headlamps too dim, but wasn't the bulbs!!!!!!!!

If it wasn't someone i knew would have failed it.

Have got some brighter bulbs off Ebay but has anyone else had this problem mine is the only crossfire that my tester sees so has nothing to compare it to.

Any suggestions any one don't want expense and hassle of new headlamps. The lenses aren't fogged and there is no silvering missing.

 

Check the angle of projection.. If they are angled too low this could make them appear dim. Do it at night in front of a wall (maybe 20 meters back) and you can see a fine line at the top of projection going horizontally.

 

How were they tested?
These lights do not appear too bright in the daytime, at night it is a different story.
Maybe your tester is a little dim themselves.

 

Hi- Im in the uk had the car 4 years and yes last two winters headlamps are dim.

Adjusted them myself but too high for MoT

MOT does not cover brightness only alignment but having driven home tonight in heavy rain need to upgrade
