Head Lights

Hey All

I have a question for the G&K people I can't seem to find the answer for.

Why did G&K change the head lamps for the original to what we have on our G&Ks. Being in my 50s I find ether these G&K lamps are too dim or it's my age.

Are the original lamps better than what G&K put on them and if so can the lamp adjuster be activated.

I have to do something so I can see better at night and I figured this is a good place to start.

Thanks for the input

ASM

ASM,

G&K changed the headlights because the origional European lights are not DOT approved. I wonder if your adjustment might need attention as the HID lights G&K installed are very bright. I have the European lights on one of my smarts and to me the G&K lights are brighter. Also the adjusters in the Euro lights are an internal part of the light and cannot be adopted to the HID lights.

Cheers, Dan

Thanks for the input, I saw when checking others gallery's of US cars some had the G&K and others had stock.

I can get a set from Ca in a bit, and I'll try to adjust (again) the G&K lights
