TangoDaz Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Hi we have a mk3.5 st line and I have noticed that the dipped beam lights are very disappointing especially when driving in the countryside it is as if they are set to low even when set to the 0 position on the levelling switch. Had any one else had this problem? Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonro2009 Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 I have a 2017 ST Line and was saying the complete opposite to my wife earlier today, I think the lights are pretty good. I’m pretty fussy when it comes to lights, I hated the lights on my Mondeo and didn’t hold out any hope for these but I’m impressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TangoDaz Posted February 24, 2018 Author Share Posted February 24, 2018 Have you got the xenon lights or normal halogen as her lights are really poor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zain611 Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 You can check the alignment of them or upgrade them to the Philips X-Treme vision bulbs which gives a lot more light Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TangoDaz Posted February 24, 2018 Author Share Posted February 24, 2018 Yes I think i need to do both Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonro2009 Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 I have halogen, standard bulbs that came with the car. It sounds like the height of the beam need to be altered at the unit itself. You can pop it along to your local MOT test centre, they will be able to check it for you. There is a tolerance for the height and yours may we’ll be at the lower end, ask them to raise it to the highest allowed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drsdriver Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Changed both my dipped & main beam bulbs the day I bought it with 11 miles on the clock. Changed them too Philips extreme vision +130%. The reason being I had a previous Mk3 Titanium which I had changed also to the above bulbs, and as soon as I drove my new STline I could see the difference straight away. Literally was night & day difference. Soo much better with the new bulbs, I do a lot of night driving so was a no brainier for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
