after a long trip out on friday in the car , ive just got to say that the headlights are pants on dipp beam.
when you travel at anything over 60mph they just arnt covering enough road on dipp.
anyone elso got any thoughts ?
also spotted a 56 plate cayman black in salisbury today.

Yeah, mine are poor too, but the truth is that modern fast cars simply outdrive the reach of a dipped beam. You can't extend the range any further, cos you'll blind everyone else. Zenons help, cos they give more light, but still don't give more range.

I agreed the standard halogen lamp is poor. I already bought Osram silverstar to improve coverage but it is still inadeqate esp if you travel quickly in a dark wet country road!

I bought a Phillips H7 HID conversion kit(Made in Germany) from Hong Kong-Cost £200----will let you guys know the result when I get it fitted next saturday!

Be careful, there is a reason why all factory HID supplied cars come with self levelling headlights.

Mine are fantastic lights, better than any other car I've driven. But they are the Xenon lights. I also love the way they kind of heat up and raise when you first turn them on.

i think i would of gone for xenons if id known how bad they are !
just didnt expect a sports car to have such **** lights.the best time to drive this car is when its dark and little traffic about so am a bit disapointed to say the least.
didnt get chance to go to opc for a night time test drive !

me too. I regret not speccing Xenons TBH.

I have xenon lights and think they are very poor. J

My first experience with xenons ws my mini and i will not have anything else it is well worth the money

I have to say, the Cayman lights aren't as effective as those on my old 968 on low or high beam. However, an old Police class 1 trainer once told me that 60mph on two lane roads at night is fast enough, so I content myself with that.
