As I wasn't able to get Xenon on my car, I changed my light globes to something that was much brighter than the standard stuff. After much research, I went for the new Philips Crystal Vision, which is rated at 4000k (same as first generation Xenons). It's quite expensive (more than 50% more than blue vision) but well worth the money. I have a little problem. The left beam throw appears to be much closer to the car than the right. Anyone have any idea how to fix this???

All fixed. My own fault. Didn't put the light bulb in on the right angle.

Yeah, pretty straight forward. The parkers are a pain though. Hard to reach to turn them. The low and high beams (I only changed the low beam) are on the bonnet, which makes it super easy to change. Oh, the parkers are also not worth changing. I thought I would match the low beams by using white globes, but with half the housing kinda orange, the parkers still looked yellowish. Waste of money there for sure.
