RE: DRLs with halogen lights?

I had Xenons on my TDv8 RRS, the range/spread was hopeless on full beam and I needed to add the driving light pods, when I changed that for the FFRR it had Halogens - great spread and range of light, back to BiXenons with the Evoque, look cool, have smart DRL's but back to a dismal range on full beam for driving dark country lanes late at night..................... not worth paying extra for IMHO unless you want them for the looks, which is an expensive look nice addition

A Pangea Green New Defender 110 First Edition is now sitting on my drive alongside British Racing Green Electric Mini Cooper SE Level 3. After 21 years in my hands my TDI300 90 was handed on to the next custodian on 15 July 2022.

Thanks for the info Tim, very useful.
I have come to the conclusion the Xenon money could be better spent....on my wife...or a powered tailgate lol

RE: DRLs with halogen lights?

Just call into a filling station and get her a few sets of the free disposable gloves at the diesel pumps, then you won't need the electric boot release and she can keep her hands clean

The money saved could be spent on getting her a gift voucher from M&S for a nice handbag or pair of shoes.................

And that, in a nutshell, is why I visit this forum frequently - fantastic review Tim. And very very useful to folk working on their order. Thank you Bow down

But also enjoy the tongue-in-cheek wife references! You boys know that a content wife is what it's all about so kudos to you!Thumbs Up
