Bi-Xenon Lights

[handyandy]

Hi,
Has nnyone got a photo of the Bi-Xenon lights on a Bocanegra with the daytime running lights switched on?
The original show car had a circle of LED's around the main lamp unit; bit I suspect the proper ones have a line of LED's above the whole unit.
Also does Bi-Xenon mean both High and low beam thro just the outer unit or is dip in the outer and main beam in the inner of the two units.
Also on main beam will dip stay on or not?

sorry I can't answer ure questions but it seems like an appropriate place to say that I've found you can order automatic headlights as a dealer fit option, I'm getting a price including fitting on wednesday but the parts themselve are about £150- I dont think this is what your looking for but i couldn't justify a new thread haha

 

[JamesJG]

I wonder how many people went for what is the most expensive option on the cheapest car in the Seat range?

 

[craigboca]

I took every option including racing brakes at 1150

frankly I'm quite proud

Sounds like you have a car id like!

RE the LED DRL's i had a look on a 1.4 Sport that was in the dealer in Braintree and when turned on it looked like they had only got a normal filament lamp above the Bi-xeon projector.

Yup I also choose the racing breaks, Xenons and the convenience pack

Dont care if its the cheapest car in the range. Its also the best equipped in its class!

Brand new VW developed engine (engine of the year in fact) and gear box.. Check
Very good safety rating.. Check
Eye Catching Looks.. Check
Good performance/handing.. Check

Not into car price snobbery, I like what I like on its merits not its price.

Yep totally agree mardon I also had every option fitted to my boc as regards day light running lights no LEDs they r long life normal bulbs in the corner of lamp unit

 

[mardon]

Aw I thought they would be LED jobbies. Ether way they look cool in the pic's ive seen.

Didn't go for bluetooth and the Sunroof for my own reasons. Did select the tomtom cradle but have added it late. Dealer hasn't got back to me yet??

The lamp uses a single bulb for both dip and main usually using a shutter flap to split the beam. Think they put a P21W bulb in a separate lens for day time running.

 

[mardon]

So are these Xenon's getting the thumbs up then or not??

All I know is they look damn cool and if they are brighter than normal i'll be happy. The daylight running lights come on with the engine dont they?

Good pics and info on the other ibiza forum (in the mk5 section under optional extra's link) which this site wont let me link to stupidly.

On my Audi and on an Exeo at work the DRL are on a switch so you can turn them on and off. Think when the become law (as of 2011 i think) this wont be possible.

Thats the one except the Ibiza ive seen with Bi-Xeons only has no DRL setting on the switch Just: Off, Sidelights then all on.

If the Bi-Xeon lamp unit is anything like the Audi one its fantastic

Not to disagree with you; I suspect I'm in somewhat of a different situation.
This'll be my first car from new (although on PCP), and with the cost pcm against my other monthly out goings against my job, couldn't possibly dream of going for the Racing brakes, or Xenons. Not at that much of a premium!

Although I suspect if I'm not entirely happy with the stock lights I'll be getting a Xenon kit to replace them with.

Fair comment and one I completely agree with. I'm stretching my budget slightly but since the car is from new I want it right.

The price of 4pots are very expensive though even when not purchased through seat.

 

[stu38]

True about the four pots being expensive I to crumbled and ordered them with the car but least the front disks bigger to

My dealer was saying that if your order has been sent to Seat by your dealer they can't normally change the spec.

As long as they haven't "built" it, I don't see any reason why they can't make any changes.

Definately thumbs up for the Xenons.
They are 300% brighter than normal bulbs and last 5 times longer than normal bulbs.

Xenons & TomTom are a "to have" options. The SatNav looks good on the dash, nice & tidy & in a good position for the driver.

Yeps, daylight running lights come on with the engine.

 

[mardon]

Spoke to dealer yesterday and the tomtom has been added no worries.

Dont know why I didn't check in the first place. The bluetooth option was tempting but for £200 odd I though nah. Just plug my current one into the Aux out and it will come through the speakers anyways.

 

[JamesJG]

I think my dealer will kill me, going to phone them up when they're open and see if they can change my order, strip the Ada Blue, change it to Candy White and add the EBA/ESP & Tyre Pressure monitor... saves me £100, the more I look at it, the more I like the Candy White... >.>

Edit: Still can't justify the Xenons! D: BUT I WANT THEM.

 

[mardon]

Yeah candy white is nice. Its gonna get pretty common though

Doesn't the cupra have Typre pressure monitor as standard?
