dip beam pattern

[pomm001]

The subject of the poor dip beam light profile is well known, but has anyone out there found a lens that will fit the existing lamp to get better
pattern.
Someone must work for one of the OE suppliers and have the answer without having to fit additional lamps ?

I don't think it's so much the lens as the shape of the reflector.

Been done and tried to death. No dice. Lights are shite. Period. You can swivel the lens - result - shite lights in a different pattern. Means you can see sod all in other places in front of you. Lights = toss. Buy some more and bolt them on. Only solution.

Succinct, clear and to the point, couldn't put it better. The only options are replacement with a HID unit or add extra lights. CoolCarbon, late of this site, did a HID conversion and wrote a very good piece on what he did on the BMW Riders Scotland site at http://www.bmwridersscotland.com/bulletinboards/viewtopic.php?p=130#130

Thanks for that,

I have fitted HID's to both lamps about 6 months ago, which improved things no end, but curious if anyone had come across a differnt Dip Lens that would fit
