    Installed LED lights, now throwing codes

    Hey guys just bought these from Amazon and installed them they work however I’m getting a “check left/right dipped beam lamp” code Can I ignore it? Is there a way to make it go away perhaps with a obd scanner?

    Dim low beam headlights - are driving lights/daytime running lights a solution? Is there a solution?

    My low beam lights are dim as crap. Apparently this is par for course on VXs. I don't like it. I live in the sticks and I need to be able to see the road at all times, even when I have to dip my lights for oncoming cars, because roos and foxes don't give a flying toss about whether you can see...

    Headlight globe recommendations please

    My headlights are horribly dim. No, it's not the lenses, they've been polished and are clear. I live in the bush and need good headlights so I can spot the stupid kamikaze roos before they go through my windscreen. My high beams aren't too bad, but my low beams are so bad that when I put them...

    How to ruin your headlights quickly using higher wattage globes.

    Howdy. I couldn't work out why my headlights were crap compared to my previous VX wagon, so I pulled them out today to install some new SS ones. This is what happens when you use H4- 90/100 watt globes in place of the standard H4- 55/60 watt ones. I DO NOT RECOMMEND USING HIGHER WATTAGE GLOBES...

    Headlights on lowbeam dim or off until I give them a bang, but highbeams work fine.

    Had my battery jump started by RACV and ever since the lowbeams are either dim or off, can be either or both at a time. Lights play up when switched to auto or on, sometimes turn off when they should turn off either manually or automatically. The highbeams work fine however. If I give the...

    Tinting VT headlights.

    Hi all, I recently tinted my boot garnish and tail lights and haven't had a problem with the lights not showing, and never been pulled over for it. Was wondering if it's illegal for head lights to be tinted, and if there's a certain darkness I can do it too, cheers.
