Finally, problem with poor headlamps a thing of the past.Kept facing problems with my E32's throw of the low beams, couldn't even see past the bonnet especially during the night, and it took me a whole ordeal of trial and error before one awesome member suggested changing the reflectors. Back then, I tried changing the bulbs, buying higher watts and 4,300K ones, but to no avail. Even toyed with the idea of getting Osram Nightbreakers [as suggested by King82] & CCFLs installed, but a skinny wallet dictated otherwise, whilst I also resorted to buying a brand new Hella lamp [right side] last year. Still, problem persisted. Then, after a fellow forumer mentioned that the problem was solved after getting the reflectors changed. And so I followed his path, ordering a pair of brand new ones from Bavarian Auto in Subang. Managed to get a discount, and total damage in the end amounted to RM 400 for a pair, and another RM 81 for labour costs to get my lights fixed. I suppose poor visibility for the low beams are a problem pretty common amongst the 4-eyed family Oo==oO so I hope this helps our fellow E23,28,30,32 and 34 members who might be facing the same problem that I had.
Eagerly awaiting the results whilst the mechanics were busy giving my E32 a new pair of eyes.
Sorry they're a bit blur. Phone camera sucks at night. Rear view. Standard lights, and managed to get the rear fogs working too.
Tada! Looks good!
The 'throw' of the beams are much brighter now.Then again, as discussed with brother King82, my beams seem to be ___X___ instead of \___\___
