Tony (J500ANT) may know the answer to this but if anyone else has any experience please let me know ??
I fitted today a HID Headlight conversion kit to my Brabus ( bloody hell was it fiddly to do !!! ) , As it was daylight when I fitted them I couldn't test them out properly to see how the performed so after playing football tonite I got the chance to use them for the drive home.
Seeing as I've never owned a car with HID's before I wasn't really sure what to expect, It looked nice & bright on the road in front of me but I noticed that as I drove down a country lane the hedges on either side of the road were also partially lit up by the HID's , now is this normal behaviour of HID lights as 'm a little concerned it's not supposed to be like that & that i'll end up blinding drivers on the other side of the road?
I know the headlight stalk on the steering wheel has a headlight adjustment switch which I have tried but this just tilts the beam lower to the floor, the halogen headlights were always left as default ( 0 ) so should the HID's be left at 0 too or do I need to adjust ?
Tony do you happen to have any pics of your fitted HID's at night shining against a wall / garage door so i could compare the pattern of the beam with mine ?
Many thanks guys for your help
Phil
