Despite some lose of light of the MK2 during the use of high beams, the low beams look way better. I'd probably increase the high beam performance adding a led bar somewhere hidden on the front Is the led bar legal if it's activated through the stalk or should I use a different switch?

Who can do this job?

Yeah exactly, considering the 99% of cases when you push the stalk forward, (without considering the high beams) in the MK1 you have light coming from the 2nd filament of the H4 (switching off the 1st filament which is providing low beam light), but in the MK2 you have nothing... do you know what I mean?

How is possible they have the same output? The MK1 in high beam (stalk pushed forward) can count on the H4 (second filament) + H7 high beam The MK2 only on the H7 high beam while the other H7 is doing only low beam

I thought high beams were H1 but as you said they are H7, sorry about that. Considering everything you said, would you agree with me that mk1 produce more light than mk2?

Ok sorry let me clarify and tell me if I'm wrong please: MK1 has got low/high beam H4 and high beam H1 MK2 has got low beam H7 and high beam H1 Now... according with the specs, the MK2 has better focus because of the lens on the low beam BUT using the high beam you are using only the H1 in the MK2. In the MK1 you are using BOTH H4 and H1. Results IMO theoretically: MK1 better high beam, light from H4 is spread around making you see the environment quite good MK2 better low beam because the lens focus on the depth of the road increasing also the brightness, less spread and good high beam (but less than the MK1) Am I missing something...? I'm talking just theoretically because I don't have instruments to measure the spread of the light (except the visual check) and the brightness of the light. When I was talking about lumens, I was referring to Eg: H4 3500 lumens (bulb) H7 3500 lumens (bulb) With the right instrument you are able to measure if in front of the car you still have that amount of lumens or in case of the lens an higher value because of the focus. If I'm not clear enough please let me know I'm trying my best ?

Regard the headlights, which one are better: Mk1 or Mk2? Which one are brighter than the other? (compared with the same lumen of course)

Hi there, I had a little accident and I needed 2 new FG XR6 MK1 headlights. I wanted to upgrade this to MK2 and reading this post I should do a proper wiring for them. Someone has done this job already? Any scheme of the wiring? Any suggestion? Any guide? Thanks :D
