pldubs 308 Report post Posted July 16, 2015 the new Mini headlights which emit a really strong, super bright blue light at a distance. really distracting. f**k it, might as well just say new Minis. How can you get away with calling something that makes my Fit look tiny, a Mini? How can you judge any car when you drive a fit? xDxDxD 7 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

E30 325i Rag-Top 2956 Report post Posted July 17, 2015 ^^I'm sorry you seem to have entered a forum for proper cars by mistake.. While on the subject of headlights, how f**king hard is it to turn the bloody things on when it's dark?? I have lost count of the number of pillocks that have been driving around after dark without their lights on. Some have been in urban areas where there are streetlights, so they can see where they are going, but it still makes it pretty damn hard to see your black car. Even flashed one muppet when I saw he had no lights on, and he just smiled and waved back - jeesh. Do they not wonder why their dashboard is hard to read... 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Problem with this is lots of modern dashboards light up regardless of weather your lights are on or off... stupid if you ask me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
huff3r 347 Report post Posted July 17, 2015 Problem with this is lots of modern dashboards light up regardless of weather your lights are on or off... stupid if you ask me. And a lot of drivers don't look at their speed etc anyway, hence the slamming of brakes when they see a policecar or speed camera. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They've thought about it........ but not enough to put on anything bright enough for other to see OR make a difference to their vision... Maybe they're too dim (the drivers I mean... I know the lights are!) 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Young Thrash Driver 1020 Report post Posted July 17, 2015 ^ This. Side lights should be banned. Except angel eyes on cars that were equipped with them from factory. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KwS 2424 Report post Posted July 17, 2015 (edited) side lights are f**king terrible. enough to light a dash up like the lights are on, but zero added visibility in the dark. Saw an old hiace on the motorway last night, in the pitch black, in the rain, with side lights on. Was almost invisible.

What the hell is the point!!! Would you beleive it's only the NZ new ones, because the lights don't have the correct veiwing angles to comply, so they are disabled..... but imports are OK to NOT comply??? That's what I heard, and it might be true. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's what I heard, and it might be true. I always thought if you had the lights they had to work? Seems weird that they can get away with it because they don't comply. It's quite off putting when you're looking of for the side lights for activity instead of the one 400mm off the ground! I bet a lot of people have been caught out because of it.

qube 3570 Report post Posted July 21, 2015 (edited) ^ oh my god.. Edit: Last time when my mercedes wouldnt start i tried a few things before taking it into coutts. One of the parts i replaced was the camshaft sensor, brand new part. Fault turned out to be the fuel pump and was covered under mechanical insurance ($2000 job but paid $300 excess) but theh charged me another $200 for... you guessed it, a camshaft sensor. Obviously i wasnt impressed and talked to the manager who refunded me straight away. Edited July 21, 2015 by QUBE 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
