Yep its another thread on how dim the Low beam on the VX Commodore is...(now a 22 year old Vehicle)... Im thinking of fitting Phillips H4 12342XVT 60/55w motorcycle headlight H4's as hard to locate an auto supplier that stocks the Phillips range in NZ thats local and not online. But it has occurred to me that my real problem might be the built in headlamp assembly reflector. Question is can these be removed and replaced or just plain not put back in? Another issue I had was with the windscreen it was shocking in the rain and fitting a new rubber to the blade on the wiper solved zilch ,I thought the screen laminate may have been corrupted but after throwing the factory blade and rubber assebly in the bin and fitting a more modern blade/rubber its solved the issue 2000%. So if your driving round in the rain in 1 of these older Commodores and the screen looks like crap and your thinking the windscreens stuffed, unclip the blades and throw them in the rubbish bin where they belong....no more screeching noises ...wipes clear and smooth I went with Bosch blades.....Anyways back to the headlights ....not looking to spend a million dollars just looking to get them up to scratch as sometimes im thinking its like driving around with your park lights on.....pretty basic concept design and build headlights that actually bloody work well...I think Holden dropped the ball big time with this....and I hate to think how many are out there driving at night struggling too see where the heck they are going.... probably another reason as to why they dont make Holdens anymore...these should have been a recall issue in my book General Motors ....there i've said it.....lol
