for some reason mine only look that blue during the day, but when it comes to pitch black they look more white :shrug: is there any photos of yours in your readers ride thread?

Yep there are a few pics in my readers ride (not sure what page though!) They make a big difference compaired with the standard bulbs...much clearer at night :)

Go to an MOT place and ask if they can align them properly. I run around with them turned down a notch on the dash switch too, just so I don't upset anyone!

lol that sounds like a good idea, my mate does MOT testing, i wonder if he will do it for free ;) how do they do it lol?

They turn them on and put a tower-type thing in front of the beam that has a lense in it. They measure the beam height and pattern (not quite sure the exact methods). They can adjust the lights using the adjusters on the lamp units. Well worth doing otherwise you might be pissing people off on the other side of the road!

I never touched the alignment of my lights when I fitted my HID's. Car passed MOT a few weeks back without even a comment about them so th ealignment must still be spot on.

Never been flashed for them either and they have been in for about 12 months too :)
