Hi All,

Newbie question on the headlights - are the low beams supposed to be milky like this or is this some sort of condensation/haze on the projectors?






I was going to replace the normal bulbs with a set of OSRAM Nightbreaker Lasers (H3) but halfway through noticed this and wanted to make sure. Also, when replacing the bulbs, what does this blue wire do? I'm assuming its ground?

 Situ normal.  Mine look the same - 07 Norge.

Thanks! Every other pic I've managed to scrounge off the internet has shown both sets of projectors being clear so was wondering.

Yup, blue goes to ground.
55,56,57 are the lights.

Are your headlight/projector covers also milky like mine or clear?

I'm away until Sunday, but I'll let you know.

Dunno.
These are high/low beam shots.

Stock standard ‘07 Norge, nothing special, original globes.

Haioku, I tried to reproduce your shot, but still seems brighter than yours.  2008 stock.
The engine wouldn't crank if battery is low.
Maybe bad connection?

Thanks for that but was looking to see what the projector lens looks like when its NOT lit up. Should it be clear or whitish/cloudy?
I just replaced the bulbs yesterday including the parking lights but didn't want to mess with the projector glass until I know I need to polish them.

Milky cloudy is indeed the stock configuration.

Right on. Many thanks for that!
