Guest XenonOz Guests Posted 26/07/04 01:30 AM Share Posted 26/07/04 01:30 AM Sorry - no amount of vitamin A will help your night vision as much as Xenon's will.As many of our clients say - they are simply amazed at the increase in the all important low beam performance and are glad they can now see things on the road and avoid them rather than just hitting pot holes, animals, truck tyre treads etc.FrankXenonOz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 26/07/04 03:35 AM Share Posted 26/07/04 03:35 AM Thanks Frank I certainly believe that you can never have too much light, but I don't think I'd spend over $700 for an upgrade like this...Good luck, there may be others who think differently...

During a drive last night from Cnaberra to Sydney for about 20kms I had a BMW M3 tailing me with a set of xenons on dip beam and they were a right pain to drive in front of. I can imagine that he had good night vision but at the expense of everyone else on the road. They will certainly attract attention but maybe not the sort that you neeed or bargained for.By the way has anyone replaced a driving light recently ,,,,,, got back with the driving lamp lens cover completely unmarked and the the driving light lens cracked in three places!Dingah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest XenonOz Guests Posted 27/07/04 11:44 AM Share Posted 27/07/04 11:44 AM (edited) Thanks for that observation on the M3's lights. Our advice - when in the company of a Xenon equipped vehicle drive alongside it - or behind it - let his lights show the way. Did you let him come up alongside you in a very dark section? If anyone has the opportunity to do this - pls try it - you will be amazed at just how much further up the road Xenon's project. They will almost totally obliterate the 55W halogen output on any car. But you guys know I had to say that. Seriously - try it. - don't knock it.FrankXenonOz Edited 27/07/04 11:47 AM by XenonOz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lumpen Poison Fish. Poison Fish. TASTY FISH!!! Donating Members 5,181 Member For: 21y 10m 24d Gender: Male Location: The Bogan Shire Posted 27/07/04 11:52 AM Share Posted 27/07/04 11:52 AM I have noticed that when I'm coming along the highway and being followed by a car with these lights (Normally ritzy hondas or BMW's) I can see my car silhouetted on the trees in front, this can only mean that the lights are brighter and have a better spread than mine (Phillips Ultra White Supa-Doopa's). The are very impressive but it does seem a fair whack on top of the purchase price!Another thing too I suppose if you got these, you'd have to inform the insurance company? In case you stove the front in and throw $1700 down the drain I wonder if your premiums would rise or if they would refuse to insure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest XenonOz Guests Posted 27/07/04 12:11 PM Share Posted 27/07/04 12:11 PM It may seem expensive - (Personally..... I think these should be std on any car like a XR6) - and as my advanced driving instructor says to me - he'd rather see what's on the road, then steer around it - than just simply hitting it. Be that a brick, a koala or a pothole. (Rims and tyres are expensive as is body work).Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone has the opportunity to do this - pls try it - you will be amazed at just how much further up the road Xenon's project. They will almost totally obliterate the 55W halogen output on any car. I have actually done this when I had the set of Xenons in my Falcon. I drove beside several XRs on the freeway at night, and my lights were easily lighting up the road at least 30m further. Add to this the fact that I had purposely aimed the lights low so as not to dazzle oncoming drivers, the improvement was impressive to say the least.If I still had the falcon I would have a set of the lights in it now, as I reckon that the low beam improvement was worth the money.I may still put a set in my Subaru, once I spend some time getting used to the lighting characteristics and spend some more time on the highway.Anyone that spends a time driving highways at night would be wise to at least try a set of the Xenons if they are remotely interested in it.Frank is an easy going bloke, and I'm sure he would accomodate a trial, as he has done for me.

IMPOSSIBLE .. for your xenon-fitted low beams to project further up the road than any other globes IF your lights are correctly adjusted. It is simple physics - there is a horizontal cut-off on your low beams, and with the correct adjustment of your lights this cut-off will contact the road surface at a fixed distance regardless of the type or brightness of the globe.High beam is a different matter and there is benefit to having as bright a light as you can possibly get fitted to your high beams or driving lights. But the cost effectiveness has to be determined by each person individually and I've already stated my position on this aspect of the Xenons.

Guest XenonOz Guests Posted 29/07/04 02:54 AM Share Posted 29/07/04 02:54 AM (edited) Yes you're correct - we are NOT changing the optics on the vehicle's headlights - BUT we are changing the amount and colour of that light that is projected.The basic difference is the light from our product is much whiter and the intensity is preserved up the road for much further than halogen systems. Simple physics - the Lumens at 100 Metres from our product is much higher than any other traditional filament / halogen system. The colour of our product is not creamy yellow as per ANY filament / halogen system - including those +50's, cool blues of whatever. Also we run at 35W not 100W - the advantges of which which has already been well discussed here.More than 80% of our customers have tried the simple globe upgrade path and as we say - this does NOT offer a higher degree of road lighting. The light meters don't lie. Traditional filament systems cannot output the same lumens as Xenon.Under completely "blind" testing (ie driver stays in car - while we change globes etc). Not one person in over 100 have picked the diff halogen globes as anything more than standard. Most peolple who buy our products have bought the +50's etc - and they THINK it's better - but not very much. When they fit our products the typical reaction is WOW! If you'd like to try a set for yourself under no obligation and with a 100% money back guarantee - give us a call.FrankXenonOz02 4861 3622 Edited 29/07/04 02:56 AM by XenonOz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
