Evening all.
I'll start with a bit of a moan....
...Mrs Edd1968's xenons are much much brighter than mine and it's not fair!!
My question is; much like halogen bulbs, is there that much of a difference between the £100 OEM MB D2R xenons fitted to them from the factory (and fitted to her car) and cheaper aftermarket versions or do I have a problem with my bulbs, ballast units etc?
Mine really are not that good compared to hers. They are by OSRAM, so I would have expected better brightness.
When it comes to electronics I go all glassy eyed therefore can anyone in the know tell me where I can get hold of a set of better bulbs without having to pay OEM prices. Suggestions please.
...god, I sound tight don't I. Not had a car with xenons before - can you tell!!
