Longer reach head lights
Hi,
I would like to improve or add to the front lights (Xenons) on the D4 to increase the distance I can see along dark country roads.
I want to avoid adding lots of bright light close to the car as the existing lights are good enough close in and too bright too close can actually reduce the distance the eye can see. So I guess I should be looking for lights with a focused beam.
Does anyone have any experience of a good solution to suggest please?2016 D4 Landmark SDV6 (Euro6), Zanzibar (late run D4)

Good set of driving lamps sounds like what you need, pitch the light further up the road when on main beam. I'd got old style LR Safari 5000's on mine.

Thanks Al, I'll look for some good driving lights then. I guessed these super bright LEDs everyone seems to be keen on were not necessarily the right thing for this purpose.2016 D4 Landmark SDV6 (Euro6), Zanzibar (late run D4)

Lightforce look meaningful, do you know which casts the beam further, the Lightforce or the Safaris?2016 D4 Landmark SDV6 (Euro6), Zanzibar (late run D4)
