Has anybody got a good modification to improve the lights on MY10. Mine are terrible with no depth or intensity on high beam? TDV8 Vogue SE 2009.

Is this previous LED upgrade post by a member any use?

Stan recently did some upgrade work to his SC lights too I think...

i gather you're referring to the xenons..if they are like my 2009my then the center high beams are there just for looks basically ...check that your main beam shutter is working properly..


@Ryan, i just sorted the side and cornering bulbs..  ... - .- -.

Just tried them on garage wall. The xenon doesn't move from low beam position but the inner high beams come on so I take it there is a fault in light units? TDV8 Vogue SE 2009.

Sounds like a system has shut down! Daft sounding but have you simply checked the fuses?

Thanks Craig. Car is in for some body work rust Thursday and Friday so will get dealer to check. My Sport used to cycle the lights in start up so will get them checked out. TDV8 Vogue SE 2009.

Totally confussed now. Phoned dealers and asked they look at this while car is in. Quick search of spec revealed that my car has xenon and not bi-xenon but they will check them. I guess xenon is only dipped beam where bi is high and low. Anyone shed any light ( ) on this. Apparently three types of light supplied, halogen, xenon and bi-xenon with active TDV8 Vogue SE 2009.

mines only a year younger than yours and its got bi-xenons with fill in haloge main beams, i can only assume yours is the same... ... - .- -.

Odd, never heard of a FF without bi-xenon... Its a flapper motor in the headlights that lift the beam pattern on full beam, as far as i know they are all bi-xenon!

probably techno jargon, to further differentiate the standard xenons from the active xenons......

Have you checked that the beam diverters for driving on the continent are in the correct position for UK use. they simply cut out half the beam when driving on the right...... There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

My 2005 (on a 54 plate) doesn't have bi xenon lights. It has xenon low beam lights which give fantastic beam & then a halogen main beam which work very well as a pair. I was up at my mates farm this evening & the estate (Craigengilan estate) road is over a mile long with tree's on either side so its very dark & I can honestly say that the headlights are the best that I've ever owned. A little history point, the estate used to belong to the McAdam family & the road was the first McAdam road on the planet but the first public McAdam road ran between Ayr & Maybole!

When women say fine a mans in deep doodoo as fine has so many meanings.

AK why do you think yours are not bi-xenon? dont flash the full beam, put the headlights on against a wall then push the mainbeam stalk forward. You should see the headlamp beam pattern lift

If you flash the full beam you only get halogens... Push the stalk and you should get bi-xenon

Ah many thanks Craig. I've just tried that little experiment & I now know a little bit more of the cars spec.  The reason women's minds are cleaner than a mans mind is that women change their minds more often!

Well my system is shut down but the fuse is complete and the units work as should do when tested by computer. Just don't respond to stalk. Lots of head scratching and sent the car off to body shop to replace the tail gate and its rust problem. Will look at lights again tomorrow and also supply and sync the remotes for park heater that were missing. Big to the sales manager at supping dealer who said "oh no you don't get remotes with Fullfat for heater"
