CX dip lights are great

Morning folks,

Taking the CX into work this morning, I was pleased to be able to see where I was going with my dip lights on! What a joy, I now need to do a HID Xenon conversion on the XM before the clocks go back.

I always used to think GS lights were good as well.

Id expect EITHER to be amazing! Look at all that REFLECTOR behind the bulb to flect the light out - its always been said a TALL or ROUND headlight will always give out better lighting then thin narrow lights - although the Xantias dont do too badly... I wont mention XM lights

IIRC the BX lights were also good, there were taller then Xantia/XM lights too...

GS lights ARE fantastic as too are the Cx's (especially the twin optics usually found on the turbo's).
So much for progress with the design of the Xm which are dangerously hopeless.

Wonder what C6's dip ones are like? :lol:
