Hi guys,

I've tried to search for historical threads, but couldn't find anything specific. Anyway, I've noticed that my Mini Cooper S 2014 F56 struggles to light up the road with high beams. So I'm going to ask, but is this something to do with power delivery? or do I need new bulbs? My car has the headlights linked here: https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/min...383220#reviews

It's hard to find data on these headlights so I'm a little unsure if it's Bi-xenon, Halogen or LED (even thought it says LED, I suspect that it might be referring to DRLs) - or even how to swap them out/calibrate the pattern so it doesn't blind oncoming traffic.

Would love to know: Bulb size, Bulb type.

Any recommendations on bright globes? (I always admire the headlights on Tesla which have great brightness to them).

 

I don’t think those bulbs are replaceable.

 

I'm crying a little inside.

 

I have the "LED" and no issues with high beams, maybe yours are halogen, you would need to look behind the housing.

 

I have LED's too and they are excellent at low and high beams. Maybe yours need adjustment. The LED's have a huge heat sink on the back of the light units...if yours don't they are probably halogen.

 

Are there non LED versions of it?

 

Halogens have the normal lens, the other ones are all LED, no separate bulbs.
