this being the first week of my lude being back on the road and my first week driving one , whats going on with them headlights i had to get out to make sure they where on

how can a light so big give out such pants light , i have much improved the light output by fitting some osram nightbreaker unlimited bulbs they are well worth fitting , have others found the lights to be rubbish also and what have you done to improve light output

Fitted Halfords +130% as soon as the nights started drawing in.

Yep, 4th gen lights are renowned for being shocking! I fitted Osram Nightbreakers as well, but a few others have retrofitted projector units/halogens etc.

I just always tried to avoid driving at night, especially if it was raining

yeah the osrams are a good upgrade for sure i am slowly upgrading the other bulbs as i go going over to leds in side lights and number plate lights , got a nice bright 6 led one in the interior light , i believe there is some sort of red light in the door cards on some preludes might retro fit some of them also

Fit white lights in the doorcards instead of red. They work better as a puddle light and still warn driversby that your door is open

I think my Headlights need a light sandpaper to them or something
