Advice please. My car is a 2015 Hyundai i30. It's a very good car, I really like it. I know some of you have far more interest in cars than me.

The question is this. The headlights have always been poor, not very bright. I'm finding it harder to drive at night. If I replace the bulbs with something more modern LEDs perhaps? Will this give me better and brighter lighting or is it more complicated than this?

Are the lens OK or are they getting cloudy
they should be clear

My old car's lenses were getting very bad and the garage commented that they would need replacing soon - I got a "kit" from Halfords to polish them and it made a big difference
I think you can also get better bulbs - just be careful to get normal ones and not the ones the young idiots get that dazzle passing drivers!

I’ve had a reasonable birthday so far . Croissants for brunch, watched some sailing while drinking coffee and eating cake in the afternoon. Plus steak for tea 😀.
Had a few nice little presents but I am the only one that thinks birthdays and birthday presents have less importance the older you get . 😂😀
 
Just been outside to put some stuff in the recycling bin

just as I got out a big firework went off very close

looking at the date it is no surprise that people are having bonfire night parties to night I suppose

when I had the dog I always closed the curtain and closed the doors and stayed at home - she was OK with the bangs and flashes as long as she knew where I was and what I was doing and came round from the back of the sofa a few times and looked quizzically at me

@Drago - how is Bruce coping - or is it quiet where you are tonight?

Hmmmmm..........perhaps I should thank my lad for sparing me two hours of probable misery at Ewood today. Well and truly tonked according to a couple of friends who went.

We have returned from the Elsa party. I have never before seen so many mini 3 - 4 year old Elsas. The party was at an interactive centre with a cast of two young women who led the children through a short play loosely based on Frozen which itself is loosely based on Hans Christian Anderson's The Snow Queen.

A good time was had by all..........the 3 - 4 year olds.

Have you cleaned the outside of the lenses?

One thing just dawned on me...I'm starting to struggle to remember what day it is. Not a memory problem, it's that the old Monday to Friday doesn't exist in the same way anymore so I've found myself thinking....it feels like Saturday...to realise, its Thursday...
Nowt to worry about, just think what you'll not be doing tomorrow(Monday) morning.
 
Only problem I have with days is thinking I will just nip down to Tesco and get

Oh damn - it's Sunday and they are closed

become easier since the grand-daughter started going climbing most weekend so I can navigate from that
but even then I sometimes get a message from her Dad asking when I'm picking her up and I realise it must be Saturday!!!
