Well done Ash, as already said, that defintiely qualifies as a good fail . Lets hope it's sorted soon and then it can all be put behind you (just like most of the traffic on the roads )





It looks like the Midget is winning at the moment......

I think the idea is to rotate both lenses, not the acctual light. However, its still not an ideal situation and will leave me considering other options as I wanted the neat look of dominators, but it seems they are lacking quality.

Having fitted Dominator's myself, I have just been in the garage to check them, bit of a relief to find that the dip beam pattern is flat and very well defined. Thankfully.
