Carpysmith Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Hi all! I am currently running a 2009 Focus 1.8tdci titanium estate. It has hid headlights and to be honest the dipped beam is awful! Do hid lights loose brightness as they get older? or is this something I will just have to live with? Anyone else got the same problem? Main beam is fine by the way, but I believe main beam bulbs are normal halogens? Thoughts anyone? Regards. Steve (aka carpysmith) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 The lumen output of HID bulbs can deteriorate by up to 70% over 10,000 burning hours so will need replacing if too dull.Sent from my SM-G930F 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carpysmith Posted January 29, 2017 Author Share Posted January 29, 2017 Cheers for the swift reply!! will have to save the pennies up for some new bulbs then! not cheap I believe? Best place to get them anybody? Regards. Steve. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ace666 Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 I had a similar thing with a set of hid lights it turned out that the bulb did need changing but i also changed the ballast just to make sure. Regards Adam 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
