On-going issues with my headlights, I'd like to ask a question, I upgraded my main beams to a Xenon bulb, great improvement, if you put the Main beams on and with my hand cut the beam down to imitate a dip bulb, the illumination is great, much better than the HID's. so I wondered, surely an upgraded Xenon bulb on the dip would be the same.. So I buy some and install them. go for a drive on a Dark, Dark Night.. and hey presto, Rubbish!!

So what's going on, is there some wiring issue happening that I don't know about that is causing this,

 

Any 'leccy guru's please apply....

can I just add. that even though you may be using "55w" hid bulbs, you may only be running 35w ballasts, same fittings. 55w and 35w bulbs are essentially the same, its just the power output they receive is different. so I would check the rating on the ballasts before anything else.
