What's made you grumpy today?

LED headlights are great, very bright and clear even in very poor conditions, however everyone else on the road thinks you have you main beams on so lots of people keep flashing me all the time.

I assume they're setup correctly?

I used to have the odd one flash me in the Prius as that had LED headlights, but not many luckily.

Nothing about them seems untoward, due to the design you can clearly see the Line of the light on cars when you pass them and it’s never above the window level of oncoming cars, or if following a car it lights up the tailgait but not the windows.

I think they are simply ‘bright’ and white and most people don’t like it
 
Had to go shopping.
Just on the outskirts of Swindon, temporary traffic lights, managing the flow badly. And a sign saying 12 weeks.
This is to bring the utilities to a new business park. So they're digging up the new surface, laid only mid last year, when the new access junction was created. That caused disruption and delays for around the same timescale.
Could it not all have been done together?

Then I get home, and half the shed roof felt has fallen off. So that's urgent, or the roof will rot.

Its the same lights on SUVs that get me..

Usually of German origin.

The old style beam cut.off seems to have been dropped so the mega CRISP bright light goes pretty much everywhere.

Interestingly I've been flashed about 3 times in the Soul so far, and they're 55w H7 projector units. Levels set correctly also - seems some are trigger happy with flashing others - doubt they do it for the front fog lamp :tosser: that go about :rolleyes:

A 2 month argument on FF...and I wasn't involved...:confused:

Had to happen I suppose..

I'm feeling left out that I missed it - those were the days :p
 
Had a few sneaky tricks up my sleeve latley.

Car booked in at universal car clinic for a shcuey front bumper and new wing fitting... plus whole respray of front end with it blended into the doors along with colour coded bump strips...

That would of been it for my stilo... lovley shiney front end with the schumacher looks... would of been unique in the ocean royal blue color

Only to find that oem factory bumper had sold between me leaving the house and getting into the office (25mins) so im wounded and very grumpy

I was literally after that bumper. Already have the grill pack and towing eye cover...

So its either a risk buying a fibreglass copy or keep hunting hoping another original fiat ones becomes available... or do i buy a custom kit (needs to be subtle) or a splitter kit and get my current bumper fixed (its had a poor repair job done before).

Feeling sad at the moment...

If it was boughy by someone on here... i will happily give them an extra £100 over what they paid for it (it was £150, primed in white).

I think headlamp height has as much to do with perceived brightness as actual brightness. If the light is at eye level or closer to it to the other cars driver it feels uncomfortable.

Valid point, especially as the soul has a high front end. At a guess (will check later) headlights are just under hip height rather than knee height.
 
No risk of this down here, very light flurry of white stuff about a month ago, but not a drop of snow since.

This was the scene outside the front door on Thursday morning.

Speculative bidders on eBay. Just bid your budget and let the eBay algorithms do their thing.

It's not such a bad thing as I only get notifications if I am outbid but the old version used to let me know every time there was a bid and these tosspots bidding £4 a time mean there would have been 24 notifications. :bang:

Also it's a bad deal for the seller as they are nowhere near my budget yet. If they were to bid more realistically the seller would probably get a better price.

Oh and if I get outbid by some <insert swear word here> cheating <swear word> application user with only a few <swear word> seconds to go, I'll be there to give the cheating scum a <swear word> slap when they collect it.

Please tell what you are bidding on so I can put some 1p bid increments on it for you:devil:
I do note that one bidder only has a feedback of two so probably don't know what they are doing.
What annoys me on ebay is when I buy something and it arrives so badly packed that its smashed and would have been even with the most careful courier.

Are you telling me that posting all that fine cut crystal in a manilla with a bit of bog roll was insufficient? ?
