hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
if u havent noticed but
ive be messing with headlamps
and and and
but but but but
soooooooooooooooooooooo
wot i have noticed is the wear inside the actual main headlamp casing
soooooooo like the fog lamps, the surface seems to corrode and the shiney stuff falls out
i ve open up 4 sets of lights now and they
all have gone in these areas
this image is from a wedge section that runs down the side
the whole lamp seems to work as a hall of mirrors that reflect the light so any loss leads to poor visabitity/brightness
but what ive noticed as well
is that some lamps are in better overall condition as well
i
soooooooo i reckon that that well known moan that some people make about bx headlamps being poor
is linked to the state of this (and their own) inner coating
and cause im that sort of guy
i use this
which the xm oaps introduced me to Aluminim Foil Tape Code: N46CF
the big stuff at £5.49
