madteg - 30/3/13 at 08:27 PM

Looking for some small headlight that work well. I have dominator ones at the moment do not find them very good.

I was looking at the projection ones but id prefer the dominators if your selling u2u me. What bulbs you using ?

My car has dominators. they are like daylight on main beam but even with 4 x 100w dip (not legal on newer cars) they are useless! You would be better off with a torch.

If you speak to russbost i'm sure he's now got some better lenses for the dominators. I had them fitted originally and they were very weak, i fitted a set of 5 3/4 inch ones off ebay and they were 100% better and my Mot tester mate didn't laugh at the beam pattern. Must admit i prefer the smaller headlight looks wise, but I prefer to be able to see where I'm going

i was referring to the fact that i can have 4 dip beams (or as many as i like) as my car is registered 1979, as far as i know there is no limit on wattage on the bulbs either (just a minimum i think a weedy 20w) modern cars can only have 2 dip beams and a maximum of 4 main beams.

nope i was mistaken its a weedy 30w minimum and no maximum wattage......
i think these regulations are still current...
