Other members over the years have tried fly eye tint, discovered the poor light output on damp wet roads and removed it. With the Fly eye kit you are covering up 50% of the surface, thus reducing light output by about this amount. Nothing can defeat the laws of energy, that same 50% of light output will be lost regardless of the bulbs fitted and the poor light output is more noticeable on damp wet roads where reflectivity is lost.
If you want to keep the fly eye looks, then you have to accept the compromises that this entails.
not a case of not accepting it bud its trying to find something that helps over the current philips ultra vision i am using as not to worry ill just go with the led option i was going to go with before the thread

I agree with Nigel that you have a simple choice between having good headlights and (highly arguable IMO) "stylishness". If you don't like the advice you don't have to take it, but at least accept that if you put a dark tint on your lights then you need illegally bright bulbs just to get back to where you were before tinting.
that is just stating the obvious the light output on these cars are poor at best without fly eye laminex etc the point of the post was so that other ppl that have done the same and can post what there best solutions were not so u can just say take the fly eye off kind of defeats the purpose of the thread

well maybe if u havent got anything constructive to say u shouldnt say anything at all and as for tescos car park maybe you shouldnt taint us all with the same brush as that maybe your thing and please refrain from posting any more as your advice is dog s..t hence why some of us have been around on here for years
