headlight bulb replacement
changed my headlight bulbs today, went for a drive after dark and the beams are only shining about 8-10 metres in front of the car!
Do the H7's need to be fitted a certain way? I noticed a tab on the metal plate, does anyone know if this points up or down?
Cheers guys

They should have a grove where the tabs go in. It sounds like you have them in upside down.
