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?

no,
spinning up the plastic with a da polisher won't make it any worse
only when they fail

It does save the trouble of trimming the wick, or a new lump of carbide.

Re: Blacker than a bookmaker soul...
lol at whoosh ?
all the kangoo's are speed limited to 69mph
it's either for fuel economy or we like the smut value of having a larger 69 on the back door...

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!
