Blacker than a bookmaker soul...
The head lights on a Mk 2 Kangoo are only suitable for use in daylight
Has anyone any experience of a LED upgrade ?
H4 bulb iirc ?

Re: Blacker than a bookmaker soul...
Have you looked at sorting the problem?
Is the glass needing polished?
have you replaced the bulbs?
Have you checked the bulbs are getting a good power supply & earth?

Electric headlights are becoming increasingly popular now.
It does save the trouble of trimming the wick, or a new lump of carbide.

Sorry, that may be a bit obscure but is a less common internet thing than 'LOL'.
It means that the reference to electric lights being superior to paraffin or carbide lights was a humorous, sarcastic response to the 'electric Kangoo' statement that 'whoooshed' over your head.

Then make sure you pop the old halogen bulbs back in temporarily then!
As I get older I think a lot about the hereafter - I go into a room and then wonder what I'm here after.
