Xenons ON, during the day?

[Munson]

im with this guy

If you can't see the advantages of driving round with lights on in the day you're a fuckwitt.

Not my words.

 

[Christopher]

LOL.

What is so f*cking hard to grasp?

Lights on in the day = more visible.

 

[Revels]

I don't use them at night either. Only during the day. I mean if someone's going to pull out on you during the night, they're gonna do it anyway whether or not you have your lights on. Right?

If someones eyes don't see me. What's the point in lights? Plus in some places they have those new posh cats eyes that are actual lights and not a reflection. So you can pretend to be a pilot on the runway.

 

[JCC]

My mate puts his on when he goes for fast road drives... But I don't like when people drive round with them on 24/7... Stupid Audi drivers

Do all the stupid people stay at home when he's not on a "fast road drive" then?

 

[Stava]

LOL!!!

 

[Goodj]

I dont switch on my lights, the car does it for me when it decides its dark enough..

EDIT: Daytime running lights are for girls

 

[montana]

i do often roll with my poverty spec lights on, for visibility purposes, however i do have philips bluevisions in, does that make me cool?

 

[Christopher]

It's a shame it doesn't automatically remove those stripes in populated areas, too.

 

[Gally]

I felt that... it hurt.

 

[Goodj]

It's a shame it doesn't automatically remove those stripes in populated areas, too.

I can't argue with that. I've apologised for the stripes enough times before. Even if I take them off, I'll still have stripes now anyway, just darker BG ones.

Anyway, could be worse, could be some poverty-spec, shopping clio with a big engine and lowz

You win some, you lose some

 

[DanielJames]

Going to have to start a thread on PH for this one, don't agree with it at all!

 

[Munson]

People who don't have their lights on during the day don't have xenons. Therefore they are poor, and they leave them off during the day because they can't afford new bulbs. Right?

EDITED FOR CORRECTNESS: ^

quite right old chap, why people still use that out-dated halogen stuff is quite beyond me what what.

may as well just hang some lanterns out of the windows and be done with it

After seeing the cost of a xenon headlamp, I'd be preserving them if I was a xenon owner!

 

[Munson]

Just buy another one. It's only money innit. Oh I forgot, you can't afford the bulolbs.

 

[Goodj]

On that note.

How much does it cost if a Xenon blows anyway?

In the 4 years of ownership I've not had to change a bulb on the Clio (by writing this no doubt I'll be in for a pair within a week)

Are they supposed to last a lot longer or something?

I love the way you went back to edit that. That made my day.

Don't do stand up.

 

[Christopher]

What?

£40 for a set.

Plus, they look f*cking cool when they die. Like a dying star.

 

[Knuckles]

That was the best way I could phrase it without making him seem like a lil boy racer. Apparently it keeps people out of his way, but that's been mentioned here already hasnt it.

Xenons are over rated anyway, so I drive with my fog lights on, helps people to see me and I look cool.

 

[MikeoftheQuays]

At the risk of drawing the ire of CS's answer to Nelson and Kearney (or, given their age, Waldorf and Statler)...

I don't use my xenons during the day. I figure while they certainly make you more visible if someone is gonna fail to spot my shiny silver car in broad daylight they're probably doing something fundamentally wrong... like looking the wrong way. In which case lights aren't gonna help me.

 

[Munson]

 

[bmh.01]

I don't because:
a) It looks like you're trying too hard.
b) I know what the bits cost to replace.

Obviously i'm just not cool enough :dapprove:.

 

[Goodj]

I love the way you went back to edit that. That made my day.

Well, it would have just upset the thousands of CS sheep that insist on thinking that they're part time chasis engineers.

 

[Munson]

I don't think chassis engineers specialise in headlamps TBF.

 

[Goodj]

LOADSAMONEY!

Oi you!
Shut your mouth and look at my wad!

 

[EllD90]

My xenons are left on 24/7 because they look cool. I had auto lights on my old car and don't now...so it's just easier to leave them on!

 

[Gally]

I'm still confused how having you lights on doesn't make you more visable...

 

[Kieran..]

i have mine on 24/7! more people see you and look so good

 

[Revels]

I've stopped using my windows incase I over-use the motors. So now if I'm hot, I just open the door.

 

[Munson]

The irony being those that can't process the logic are probably the drivers that will eventually pull out on someone in broad daylight. Ergo thick.

 

[Gally]

I'm also loling at using up light in your bulbs!

How many times can I move my wing mirror before I need new ones?

What has happened to this place!

 

[DanielJames]

Just buy another one. It's only money innit. Oh I forgot, you can't afford the bulolbs.

Hmm, I guess I can't... I don't understand this banter.

What?

£40 for a set.

Ah, someone told me they were circa £300 each for a new 172 xenon light...

 

[Gally]

Ah, someone told me they were circa £300 each for a new 172 xenon light...

They are. Infact one of my bulbs in the house went out. I'm going to replace the ceiling and all the electrics...

 

[EllD90]

You should start using a towel to dry the sweat, you might break the door handle...

 

[Goodj]

That'll be when someone's been too busy trying to turn their lights on with a switch and ploughed into a wall..... after hitting some diesel, of course.

 

[st3ve]

lol @ this thread.

I drive with mine on, for safety and because they look awesome.

 

[Gally]

You have a cup though! Surely you'll be 0.000000000000000000000000000000001 second slower around the ring... oh nooooooes!!!!!!

 

[bmit]

On a bike where you can't turn them off , as you're coming past side junctions and the road is bumpy it looks like you're flashing so numpties pull out on you even tho you're not indicating if I could turn them off in towns I would..

Off unless dark in the car tho. If everyone had them on then no-one is any more visable than anyone else

 

[Pettsi]

Drive with them on, always have done for some reason.

 

[Christopher]

Hmm, I guess I can't... I don't understand this banter.

No.

£50 a set.

Internet bullsh*t strikes again.

LOL @ using them up!

I'll not use my car. Petrol, innit.
