I need help with the lights on my Citreon C2 please?!?

Question

I seem to have 4 settings:

1. Rubbish side-lights
2. Rubbish headlights

3. A weak 'full beam'
4. A good strong full beam'

I have never had a car with 4 options of headlights before, am I able to use my weak fullbeam as standard when driving at night given that my standard headlights seem so dull?

Can anyone help please!
Im driving like a right old fart in the dark since I got this car!! : (

Answer 1

The C2 has side lights, main beam and high beam. you are the second on this site now who has had a problem with the brightness of your headlights, i suggest you take it to a garage and ask to have it put on a beam setter to make sure your headlamps are projecting light at the correct hight. i repair cars for a living the car could of had new headlamps and when fiting new headlamps they should get put on a beam setter in he case of your car they mite not of been set and could be pointing down at the floor. Hope in been some help.

Answer 2

I suspect your "weak full beam" is actually front fog lamps.
These are for use in really thick fog only when headlamps only cause glare to be reflected back to you, and are designed to light a wide area immediately in front of the the car, but without penetrating far into the distance (as that would cause glare).

They are not legal to use in the UK unless visibility is less than 100 metres.

Answer 3

buy higher voltage lights
