Mercedes-Benz 200 Kompressor 270/290CDI

It was some time ago that I started this quest of improving the standard of lighting on all cars and vehicles at night.

Living close to Gatwick Airport friends and relatives often wish to leave their cars here while away to sunnier climates. This will be the 1st of two blogs. It is quite old but very important.

I was blessed with the use of two Mercedes of identical blue colour with body shape that seemed almost identical but for accessories/extras for each particular model.

The CDI was equipped with the Xenon Headlights.

The Kompressor with the Halogen Headlights and headlamp scroll adjustor.

Being fortunate at having a garden with drive of well in excess of 200metresI positioned both vehicles side by side with dipped beam on. The Xenon headlights on the dipped beam setting were almost as good as the Kompressor on main beam with the adjustor on the highest setting possible.

The result being the CDI on main beam would most definitely dazzle other drivers causing them to be in danger of dealing with the Xenon light.

In my opinion most Xenon’s although good for those sitting at the wheel behind them are dangerous to all other motorists who have to deal with them.
