can`t fault the mainbeam but not a lot of use on dipped, will adjust downwards but not raise and seem to be set too low anyway. any advice on this would be appreciated, thanks

Lights on Vectras are poor, I found out last week coming home through the back roads.

Best thing to do is think about an HID upgrade as a few others have done. But even they can give problems, flickering etc.

I had a similar problem and fitted blue Xenon lamps (bought on Ebay for about £14 for 4). Although they are the same wattage as the originals, they seem to be brighter (like the advertising blurb said) and give a much whiter light. You can pretend you have gas discharge lamps on the car too - they do look a lot like them! Make sure you don't get the 100watt lamps which are also on Ebay. Illegal and probably not good for your wiring loom.
I will be raising the dipped beams a bit as well - Vx seem to set them low for some reason!

I once put 80/100 watt bulbs in a Granada I had, they were like day light, the lights were set correctly and did not dazell any one, they are illegal for road use, but no one ever noticed, I then fitted them in a seirra and they started to make the grease on the battery terminals start to smoke so I removed them, the wires in the Granada must have been more heavy duty.

iv'e fitted a hid kit on the signum.bought from hids4u and is worth every penny.they are not cheap at £250 though,i bought the ulitimate kit and have no problems so far,as this was developed for the vectra c/signum.i had the so called hid effect bulbs fitted prior to the hid kit.all i can say is there is absolutly no comparison but given the price i would'nt expect anything else.hope this helps you mate.
