headlights

I drive a vrs estate and my dad drives a TDi estate.

I was driving his car the other night and noticed that his headlights seem to light up the road further than mine!

I have checked that the headlight adjusters are in the 0 position and that they both have standard bulbs in.

I am wondering if with the VRS being lower if the lights do not shine as far?

I know I can up rate the bulbs but at this stage I need to try and understand if they are correctly positioned before I go to the sealers for them to take a wage of cash I would see what other octavia drivers thought

Re: headlights

No idea mate, but phillips vision plus/osram silverstars visibly gained me a good number of meters worth of lights.

The H4's come in at under £20 a pair and are a doddle to fit.
