By the way, I don't condone the use of non road tested lights. I tried these and took them off as I was unsure of their legality. I live in the countryside but near lots of town traffic and deemed these as anti social, if I lived in the mountains they would he deemed as essential !
Good evening Dave's Dad, thanks for the message, I bought two " Ring" xenonmax H4 bulbs today, they say on the box that they are 100% brighter than a standard bulb, Ring sell 40% 60 % and 100% brighter bulbs. these ones I bought from a car motor factors where I do some work and cost £24.00.
Totally - while 1700 is more than almost any car headlight, the "throw" isn't that far (doesn't need to be). - that's what the helmet light is for (narrow beam, long throw) and wouldn't suit a car but what IS lit up is almost like daytime. Definitely not all about lumens but it can be a useful guide.
Having not taken delivery of my H4 T6, I cannot advise as to what to do, but having found the form I think that it gives us leverage against VW. I also think that the above action needs to be done after giving VW a bit more time than a few weeks to gather an impression of the problem, maybe a face plant and twitter petition, where you put in your chassis number, and when a magic number is hit it is presented to VW factory?
The petition would be after the poll, that is running, and the chassis numbers show the vehicles effected and that we arnt making up pollsters or petitioners. Maybe delivery of the petition could be to the factory in a H4 equipped vehicle?
