markcoopers Posted June 3, 2009 Posted June 3, 2009 I had forgotten how much fun this is. Sure candles for headlights keeps the speeds down, and the car is somewhat "dead fly" coloured now, but what a great night. The flames from the exhaust and underfloor neons were a real blast, kept me amused for miles. Quote

Head to Halfrauds for the super bulbs well worth the cost Quote
Cleggy the Spyder Man Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 I have some super Phillips ones in mine, best legal ones you can get according to Autocar Mark - give us a shout next time you go out night time if you fancy a joint ride out I bet you were just practising that new route Quote
Tom Frankland (T3OMF) Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 underfloor neons were a real blast, kept me amused for miles. You've blinged your Westy....... next thing you'll be doing is going down to your local McDonald's car park to meet up with the chav's Quote
combatsapph Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 I actually prefer driving my car at night - no glare of the sun, less traffic and you can tell when other cars are coming your way on country lanes. Looking forward to a few midnight blats on some balmy summer nights. Quote
mavhh Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 I love driving the westy in the dark for all the above reasons (except the neons ) Ditch the bulbs and fit a Xenon HID kit - I've got a bi-xenon kit 4800k fitted, cost under £80 - it fits inside the standard headlights just fine, and the lights are on a par with my Xenon equipped 5-Series. (well, they shake and rattle a bit more than the BMW!) Don't ask about the legalities - I'm not sure. But I've left the 'standard' wiring in just incase. I've got HID retro-fitted in two cars and both of them have passed the MOT's this year with it. Dave Quote
