Anyone else out there find that if their P5 headlights get even the slightest bit dirty, the light output (espesially with the high-beams on) sucks dick? I'm not sure about the sedan lights, but in this Calgary winter, the lights get covered in that runny "road-mud" after a few minutes of day driving, then at night the light output is diminished to the point that I need to wipe them down with a snowball or real wet cloth. Even if they're only slightly dirty I find the light output is still really hurt.

Just wondering if anyone else out there thinks the same thing?

 

I haven't noticed any deterioration and my headlights are filthy right now.

 

Dude - what the HELL is the name of that movie with Shogun in it?!?!?!?!

Year of the Dragon? IS that it? What a horrible, terrible, crappy, cool-as-hell movie. Vanity was a hottie back in the day. And those El D'Barge songs.....nuff sed.

yeah if my headlights are dirty the light output licks my ***, so i usually throw some washer fluid on it every now and then

 

Sweet pic Pro_fan!!! I love the Last Dragon!!! That movie is the shiznit!

"Bruce Leroy, catches bullets with his teeth, he catches bullets with his teeth, ***** please!"

"Kiss my converse!"

 

You got it!

Umm...to be on topic..I just drove my Pro around at night here w/ my filthy lights and really tried to see a decrease, but I didn't notice any difference. Maybe you guys are just "over-sensitive?" :P

 

use a little bit of vinegar... lol

 

yeah its real nasty...usually when I go for a fill up or something, I wipe them down...

 

So far it seems as though the sedan lights are ok when dirty, but the P5 ones lick nuts... Hmmmm...

 

well mentaly the p5 HL's are far superior

 

You just keep telling yourself that...

 

that's why headlight washers are REQUIRED in europe

I make it a habit that every time I get gas, I wash at least the headlights

 

I hope you at least make a point to use lots of water so they don't get scratched...

 

Using the squegee (sp?) that they have at the gas station ought to not give you problems... if it doesn't scratch your windshield when you use it, I'm sure the headlights will be fine (unless they are super gentle glass)

 

Well, they ARE super sensitive glass, in a way....

Because they're PLASTIC lenses, not glass! :

So yes, they scratch pretty easily. Be careful.
