Title: Feeble headlights
Post by mr._floppy on Dec 13^th, 2004, 5:08pm

I've noticed these dark nights that my dipped headlights are less than brilliant , the manual says 55watters are standard fitment. I used to put 130 watt blubs in my old Volvo, can I upgrade the halogen bulbs and are they available?

hi there

imo, you'd be asking for problems changing the wattage. i've got 1 new h/light and 1 old one (09/97), and the difference in light output on the road is tremendous. i'll need to get round to replacing the lens on the old one soon.

Strange - I've recently bought my 2nd Scorp - a 97 'R' plate and the lights on it are NOT up to the standard o my older 95 'M' - I must check which bulbs are fitted in each.

Probably end up swapping things...

Hi one and all ;D
With regards to poor light visability try replacing the headlamp bulbs with 55w Xenon gas filled ones - what a difference!!! :o
I found them to be cheaper than at your local Halfords dare I say from Vauxhall :P Part No. 91126412 £6.90 + vat each
They are so good I replaced them all (low & high beam) might actually now need to wear shades 8)
