vectra c headlights?can i change unit?

[andrewwelsh1958]

Hello all, i have had my vectra c(53 reg ) a couple of months now,and i thought the lights were poor,so i put in osram night breakers, still not happy with them. does any one know if there is a different light unit (without) the magnifier/diffuser that can be fitted thanks for any info or help given, the n/s dip beam is non existant although the bulb is bright

HID is only route my friend. £55 WELL spent in my opinion

I had nightbreakers in mine when i bought it but i thought they were poor, so i put in the Ring Xenon Max bulbs which seemed alot brighter. Also, have you done the headlight mod where you raise the beam by turning the adjuster ontop of the headlight unit? This helps alot as the beam seems very low down on the factory setting. There is a how to on here somewhere Other option would be HID's...

I got mine from www.hids4us.com (nearly 3 years ago, with no problems other than replacing the bulbs a couple of months ago) but there's hidsdirect that get an occasional mention.

Make sure you get canbus compatable ones though.

As rockafella has mentioned try adjusting the headlights, it may help

I keep meaning to have a go at doing it on my facelift but haven't had the time to get round to it but now having fitted HIDs things are much clearer

Good luck
