Hello. I am after some advice on the headlights. They do not seem very bright when on low beam and on dark roads. I have looked at all the settings and I am not able to resolve this problem on my own. The car is just 6 months old so I am not over happy with having to purchase new units/bulbs. Any advice would very greatfully received.

Not a point anyone's raised before. What's the problem? Output or aim?
I had LEDs on my Tekna but in previous cars I've put in updated output bulbs - usually Osram Nightbreakers.

Can’t help, sorry, I have the Tekna version with LED headlights.
My previous QQ had adequate headlights but I upgraded to Osram night breaker bulbs which improved things (although they came 3rd in an auto express test -

Thank you for replies. The main problem is brightness. When driving on A roads that are dark, the low beam just seems dim in comparison to other cars I have had. I dont want it so bright that I can see the on coming drivers soul but bright enough that I can see oncoming bends with confidence. Had my eyes checked and they are ok..

Now I have thought about it the headlights in the Juke weren’t tip-top either.
They were improved using some Phillips bulbs IIRC - it’s unfortunate that there’s a need to change the headlights on a new car but "safety first"

Thank you MikeGC for the information, can these bulbs be just swapped, plug and play or are there adaptors involved?

Straight swap but mine were done by a nimble fingered young mechanic who played at my rugby club. He didn’t say it was awkward and it didn’t take long, and only cost me a few pints.

Can the Low Beam headlights be adjusted ? I have just fitted Os
Ram night breaker bulbs and the beams are spread too far apart.
