So whats the difference anyway..
« on: August 24, 2006, 21:33:00 »
Right, i was on paddocks website and there are two different types of halogen headlights on there, From May 94 and to May 94.

Whats the difference? is one better than the other?

Thanks

Did it gain electric dip adjustment in '94 maybe?

The loom has a different plug on for the headlights. The swap over was between 200TDi and 300TDi - about 1994...

Cheers

Ahh i just wondered, because my 2005 td5 90 puts out an amazing amount of light with standard bulbs, where as my 1991 90 doesnt, they both have the same wattage bulbs, so i was wondering if it was the headlight itself would make any difference!

Not to worry then!
