Just come accross this and am now wondering if its worth getting, does anyone know if it would be suitable to fit to our cars?

I thought we already had it, its fitted to mine and I hate it as its too sensitive or is it just a facelift thing
 
pre facelift doesn't have auto lights. And thanks, just when i thought i had finished adding stuff to my car along comes another gadget. :lol:

I know mate. You have no idea how excited i am about this. :lol:
 
Guys just a though to consider about this product.If you have HIDS fitted then dont fit this as it will short live the life of your lamps.
HIDS dont like to be turned on and off when i had mine in my old car my lights were always on Manuel.

Yeah the thought had crossed my mind but I didn't think the unit would turn on and off frequently enough to any harm but in saying that I don't know enough about HIDs to be sure lol

On my old car the light would turn on under bridges and trees.So if your doing miles on a motorway count how many bridges there are ;) Also im sure if you read the fitting instructions on your after market HIDS it says this as well.Its to do with the gases not heating up to the proper TEMP causes this.

Yep Bretts right, I was forever flashing people as my headlights were flashing on at the hint of a shadow, useless. Same goes for the auto wipers always trying to clear a dry screen or too slow to clear the screen when its wet, too inconsistent. Manual is the way forward.

Fair one, I never gave any thought to what would set them off round here but the are a fair few bridges, might give this one a miss then lol plus my lights have taken enough abuse shortly after fitting then whilst I tried to get out of the habbit of flashing my lights lol
