Avensis 2005 Xenon Original Replacement Bulbs

[johnro]

Hi guys

Can I change my original xenon bulbs to a better pair (the low beam ones)?

At the moment my ones are nit very good. They might be damaged or smtg

I can only see 15 feet in front of me :(

are they normal bulbs or xenons?

have your checked your auto adjuster in the car?

[johnro]

They are xenon ones. No adjuster I believe. It has an auto adjustor I believe :)

[cmia]

yes you can swap them out but HID/Xeons are supposed to be better then normal bulbs.

[johnro]

Better then the original xenons?

[cmia]

Better then the original xenons?

Yes,

They come in diffrent power wattage and light colour outputs.

35w is the norm, but you can get 55w bulbs as well. The issue you will run into is the balasts may not support 55w!

You could take it to the MOT station and see advise and get the to check light quality output.

I thought u need to change the bulb and the ballast to get more power (55 w), not just the bulb

It may be the HID bulbs or ballasts are failing or have dirty or damp connections.

The lights are working but not like they use to. I thought that u have to replace them from time to time. They are 6 years old now :)
