Projector Headlights

Postby steelroe » Tue Jan 20, 2009 8:50 pm

We all know the dim lights on the FTO are crap. The dim one is the one with hte projector lense.
Now I have a MAZDA 6 also fitted with projector lights (no HID's) and these again are worse than the FTO.

Would I be right in thinkin these lenses are really designed for use with HID's.

Out of curiousity, what type bulbs are in the Mazda lights? 9006 like the FTO by any chance?

Mazda is fitted with H1 bulbs (55w). Prob get a HID kit enetually but

Also have another prob, the light intensity increases when I press the accelerator, and if I press the brake the heads and interior lights dim. I suspect either a dodgy battery or alt. Must do some investigation tomorrow.

Bought some of these today so lets see if they live up to the boasts
