hi guys just after a little info my headlamps are very dim the globes on the dip beam side seem to be frosted is this normal? also the car has halfords bulbs in do the original nissan one's make a difference? my car is uk spec by the way cheers kev

hi

Unfortunately the standard lights on all zx's are quite poor. there are ways around it by turning your fog lamps into driving lights or getting a HID kit (mike feeney at mjp eastern auto can tell you more). I 've never found changing bulbs to make much of a difference

The globes look frosted because they are probably very dirty, do a search on here, there are ways to clean them up a bit without dismantling them, but for the best results take them out strip them and do it properly, have the inserts chromed and fit a HID kit, did mine like that, expensive but they are the best lights ive ever seen on a car now.

headlights are just plain shite - but cleaning the inside of the glass usually makes loads of difference.

 

edit: sorry just read post from suffolk - so no need to repeat :headvswal you dont have to strip the lights though - it's fiddly but you can do it -

 

Regards,

fancy fitting me a pair macy baby :D

Or if you're feeling the urge to really see where you're going fit a HID kit - available in 6000K and 8000K from DTA-Motorsport (in the traders section) and completely plug-n-play! I do of course recommend cleaning the headlights first ... always helps ;)
