The main beam on my 2004 9-3 Aero Conv is like a searchlight but the dip beam is as much use as a tea light in a hurricane. Short of going for a full upgrade to HiD can anyone recommend a way of improving the dip beam performance. Headlights themselves are perfect with no damage to the...

Hi all I've got the lowly 1.8t Vector Sport (2008 '58) at the moment, but I bought it cheaply knowing I could remap up to around 200hp and wouldn't get hammered for tax like with an Aero (sensible man eh?) So, now the top priority job is complete (Mki9000) it's time to get the power upped...
