Had to put all my exhaust plans on hold until later next year as the suspension stuff is costing more than thought (can't even afford the Rotas I fancied). If you still haven't sold it in 6 months I'll take it off you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
STEVO9000 54 Report post Posted December 18, 2015 I've been thinking my lights seem shorter now majority of my driving is in the dark this time of year, haven't really noticed it before. Will have to get an order in shortly, totally forgot about these tbh so glad the thread popped back up! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gringosteve 213 Report post Posted December 18, 2015 Is there a way to make them physically brighter. We also have a new CRV and the lights on that are sooo much better than on the 86 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We also have a new CRV and the lights on that are sooo much better than on the 86 The CRV is somewhat higher on the road, which is probably why it seems brighter. If you got this adjuster to make them point slightly higher it may help? I'm assuming you currently don't have your car lowered though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gringosteve 213 Report post Posted December 18, 2015 Yeah my car is stock height. The dipped lights on the CRV are as bright as my main beams. When the full beam is on the CRV it is like daylight, epic brightness and coverage. And it auto dips when it senses other road users Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Varelco 211 Report post Posted December 18, 2015 They must be pretty powerful. I really rate the lights on this car. The best I've ever had. I was driving a Fiat 500x crossover thing earlier this week and they were like tea lights, shocking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seriously impressive If it's a new CRV I'm pretty sure they use some sort of LED technology with has a higher lumen output than our Xenon's do I've never had an issue with the brightness of the 86's headlights, actually think they're very good Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gringosteve 213 Report post Posted December 19, 2015 Yeah it's a brand new one, didn't realise they were LED ones Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dan7954 35 Report post Posted December 20, 2015 I had a 2013 and now a 2015 crv and they seem the same to me... Apart from the cornering lights that have been changed to LED on the '15 where they were halogen on the '13 but as you would know they only turn on at lower speeds when turning the wheel. think its the height of the car as said before as both my crv s past and present blind people coming off my drive but my '14 civic didn't..(id imagine its the same hid in all 3). 1 Gringosteve reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rich 378 Report post Posted January 26, 2017 I'm not sure how much adjustment there is left on it as I didn't fit it myself, but I think they can handle quite a drop, it'll be better than nothing at least! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hoax 21 Report post Posted January 26, 2017 @Rich thanks for the info, debating whether to go for the electronic or mechanical solution. Definitely need to do something about the head lights though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
