Yeah, they are alligned ok, just on low-beam they are piss weak, I cant get them up any higher through adjustment either

High-beams are good, low beams are shithouse

Anyone have any suggestions to make my headlights brighter? ie what globes to use?

If you're using H3Cs get rid of them and get some decent H3s. I couldn't find any decent replacement H3Cs so I put some Philips H3s in and it made a big difference. There still not great lights but there much better then they were.

I think the H3s were also cheaper. From memory Autobahn wanted $25 each ($50 a pair) for crappy H3C replacements and a pair of philips H3s were $40.

I just got my car from Japan and it has genuine Raybrig globes and they are AWESOME!! I've never seen anything like them. I have them in my parkers and low beams, I ordered some on ebay for my high beams so they all match and the bastard sent my "Raybrigms" that are designed in "JAIPAN"

I belive the genuine Raybrigs are from Japan. Definately worth the few $$$..

Yeah, I have heard of the getting quite hot.

HID kits would be quite hot I'd imagine!

Xenons are much cooler than hals , xenons are 35 watt hals are 55w .

Your problem is voltage drop, fix that and you will see the light !!!!

arent HIDs technically illegal for street use??

not complaining    just want to know  if i get them  should i fail to mention it to the boys in blue?

Thanks

It's illegal, but these days most of the BMW/Merc have blue/white HID's from factory so it's slowly becomming normal...

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
