Anyone found any upgraded Headlights and Fog Lights? The headlights are quite dim at night and DRLs very yellowish, anything brighter and whiter whilst still being legal in the UK, good test drive though :)

I can't say I've had any problems with the lights being dim at night... maybe that is because I'm used to driving a Capri which essentially just has a pair of candles in comparison to modern cars.

Funnily enough I sold my Capri to buy the mustang as I didn't have the space or need for two toys.

2.8i shell with 2.9 cosworth engine.

The headlights were pathetic!! But the dash lights were even worse!!

Lucky you!! Mine was the boa as well. Built by a guy in Essex, Darren I think. Really enjoyed it but wasn't getting the use as I hated taking it out on a wet day.

Seven years fun I had out of it but time to move on.

The entire reason I bought a Mustang was because it's as close as we'll ever get to a new Capri lol

I had the Capri because we didn't have mustangs at the time lol.

My uncle is a mad Capri collector with over 35 at my last count.

I have to agree - I hadn't noticed that either.

You know they can be adjusted (angle) using the central stalk in the middle of the headlight control wheel. That might help?

On my car I adjust them at their highest level and I also noticed that the lights are quite dim at night.

And more when the roads are wet ...

Headlights aren't brilliant in the dark & wet. I want to swap out my drl so they match the headlight colour, not willing to make my lights illegal though by swapping out the entire unit for us model.

Yeah, found the same, had to go over the snake pass in the dark and rain about a week after getting the car and was a bit shocked at the lack of brightness. I didn't want to acknowledge that the car was anything less than brilliant at the time, but since read on here that Ford have swapped the lights out for much weaker ones for the export model. Shame there's no easy fix.

Yeh, cant say I am that impressed with my lights. I am waiting for a few months just to see what happens. Not that impressed with the whole fog ligh, headlight, DRL thing really but dont want to rush in to anything.

This is a thread about lights isnt it....or is it the Capri Owners thread??? lol
