Poor Headlight Brightness

[Wayo11]

Hi all. I drove Project Spa in the dark last night for the first time and was disappointed with the brightness of the headlights. They are very dim and yellowish, even though the headlights were polished before I took delivery. They look clean enough... Any suggestions? Could it be as simple just changing the bulbs?

Stick a set of Osram bulbs in. Nightbreaker I think they are called

Thanks for asking mate.
I’ve finished my radiotherapy now. Feeling really tired.
Just waiting for a PET scan now to see if it’s been successful.

You have finally discovered BMWs first attempt at a speed limiter

Bit ironic that you waited until the week with the shortest nights to discover this.
