I wasn't going to be the first one to bring that up ... BUT you have a very valid point!!! Drivers either behind you who BLIND your sight due to the lights, or oncoming traffic. It's a real problem and I'm just glad not too many cars have retrofitted to these lights yet!
I would agree in most cases, but I use my fogs as my DRL since I disabled the DRL.ihaveavibe wrote: ↑Tue Mar 19, 2019 1:27 pmOne of my peeves though is people driving with fog lights on when there is no fog... just causes more glare, no particular need.
Yeah I dont drive with the foglights on.ihaveavibe wrote: ↑Tue Mar 19, 2019 1:27 pm Haynes repair manual for Matrix/Vibe has the headlight adjustment procedure on page 12-12. I don't know how good it is, but better than nothing.

I use the foglights when I'm driving through areas with lots of potholes. Helps me figure out if I have to dodge, slow down, or praychrispbacon wrote: ↑Wed Mar 20, 2019 8:03 amYeah I dont drive with the foglights on.ihaveavibe wrote: ↑Tue Mar 19, 2019 1:27 pm Haynes repair manual for Matrix/Vibe has the headlight adjustment procedure on page 12-12.

The clip will be a PITA to get over the heatsink, speaking from a similar experience.
Haha! Good idea. Gotta join the Facebook page. Didn't even know about it. Thanks for the heads up.zbyers wrote: ↑Tue Dec 31, 2019 4:00 am The Philips RacingVision +150% are a very highly rated bulb. Many on the GenVibe Facebook page also recommend these and have ran them for a few years with good success..
Agreed on the Silverstar bulbs. They are junk and burn out pretty quickly. Good news is, they have a 1 year manufacturer warranty. So keep the receipt and packaging and return it to place of purchase or manufacturer and get them replaced.
Dave .... just don't forget about us here at the original GenVibe like the vast majority of others have, once you join up. Thanks
true story, plz come back!
So installed the Philips Racingvision last night. I love the brightness of the low beams. The high beams are meh. Dont care for the slight blue tint. If they could take off that crap blue tint the bulb would be perfect!navydave wrote: ↑Mon Dec 30, 2019 8:39 pm I've decided to try out 3 different brands of high end halogen bulbs first to see how I like them. I realize the life will be short, but don't really care. Not hard to change. Trying these.
1. Philips RacingVision +150%
2. OSRAM Night Breaker Unlimited +110%
3. SYLVANIA SilverStar ULTRA (may return, poor reviews)
4. GE Nighthawk Platinums
After reading lots of reviews and watching tons of videos, these 3 seem to be the top ones for halogen. I'll update with which one I like the best, if anyone is interested.
Bulbfacts.com and also, username m3rovingian https://www.youtube.com/user/sorcerer21ro/videos on Youtube has alot of great comparisons.
