Hey guys my Headlights are shocking even with Narva Blue Power globes and for some reason they wont adjust.
I was wondering if some people have pics from the driver seat out the windscreen to show how far their light reaches and what globes they are using (paired with either STD or Para Headlights)
Just want to compare thanks !

how is it bad? like a yellow colour or just bad range? it could be alignment if they are getting crappy distance or if they are yellow it could be your ground on your headlight.

human eyes see yellow light more strongly than they do blue, consider switching back to normal globes and aligning your headlights. Just remember not to go to overboard, the more you angle the lights up the more you can see but this also means other drivers might be dazzled by your lights

Narva Blue Power are re-branded Osram Night Breaker's. These are good bulbs.
Either your headlights need aligning properly or your suffering too much voltage loss in the wiring, fixable with upgraded wiring and relays.

Yeah just because your lights are aimed up further doesn't mean you see more. You loose/waste light if they are aimed up too far, and obviously if aimed too low you dont see enough. All about getting the right balance.
Aim them so you can see where the light finishes in the distance. Once you get to/past the stage where you can't see the beam finish in the distance on the road then you start to waste light.
Also, maybe try higher output globes such as the phillips +50, and +80% range. The don't drain any more power, just produce more light.

What car do you have and more precisely, what type of headlight do you have? I've got Narva Blue Power in my car and compared with stock, are amazing. They are 80%+ brighter and 20% bluer so not a true blue light and is ADR approved. These are meant to also have longer throw as well. I did take some photos before but cannot find them. I'll try again later.

I would second the use of the Philips +80%.
The paras in my TJ are now fairly reasonable.
Still have to do the wiring and relays though.

Here's a photo of the back of the headlight.

When you turn the screw on top of the headlight ensure the corresponding adjustment gear is turning.
Give it a good 10 turns or so, you may of just run out of travel in one direction.
If nothing works then I'd say something is broken internally. I have a spare set of headlights here if you get stuck.
