dip headlamps 2008

Postby Phil and Liz » Thu Jan 19, 2017 9:50 pm

wife has a 2008 dynmique 1.5 dci and I have a 2012 dynalique tom tom dci, last few winter months shes been complaining that the headlights are poor on dip, main beam not bad. Tonight as mine was off the road (trying to get the undertray back on after a late afternoons oil and filter change, ran out of daylight) I had to use hers to pick her up, now i see what she means, dip is probably correctly aligned but the output seems poor.

These are the headlights with the dip beam as a round lense and main beam is normal reflector, presumably the headlamp adjuster motor adjust the reflector for dip and main together, the left hand motor does not seem to be doing much these days though. Are there any known issues with dip beams being poor, this looks like being a recent fault in the last winter or two, I remember the lights being better when the car was 1 year old.
