RX v STX headlights

[Martin'sD40]

Are the headlights different from the RX v STX ?

According to the spec sheet, the RX comes with Halogen head lights and the, ST and ST-X comes with LED head lights, not sure how much difference it makes in the real world.

OK then , lets hear from the ST and STX owners
How good are your lights at night and when its raining ?

The lights are worlds apart! The LED'S are awesome and give a much better view in the dark.

Ok, what format are the LED globes? Are they in a commonly available type (eg H4) ?

 

[Martin'sD40]

Tony from what I gathered is that the LED lights use a projector lens, since led is far whiter than halogen and uses much less power to run but needs that projector to throw the light forward if that makes sense

Question for RX owners do your lights have the 3 stage electric adjustment for up and down ?

Coming from an R51 the head lights where terrible.
The LED lights in the NP300 are awesome.

Pitch black country roads and they work wonders. Haven't got any additional lighting, but at this point i won't worry as the factory LED are the gun.
LED makes Xenon look dated now

I have a early 2105 RX and have to say the headlights aren't that good, they are quite yellow in colour and don't project far at all. I have since fitted some HID driving lights for the country drives so I can the bloody roos in time. The RX doesn't get any height adjustment so with the soft rear suspension having some load makes a difference where they aim.
