    Unhappy Farewell Opelaus

    I've been on quite a few car related forums in the passed 6 or so years, usually the first thing I do before posting a thread for advice is to search for what I want before hand, so after searching the Astra section for 3 hours looking for advice on how to improve my headlights I didn't find anything that I actually wanted, all I really found was people talking about angel eye's, a direction I just don't want to go in.

    So to post an advice needed thread only to have the owner close it and tell me to search for it in my opinion was just pathetic and childish, can only assume he'd had a bad day, but if that's the way it is here then I'll go elsewhere for advice in the future.

    However, it was good to see a few things here like sort of organized day trips and forum meet up's.

    Leave you all to it, thanks to anyone that I did manage to get advice from and hope you all enjoy and drive safely.

    Mate, don't take that as a personal attack.
    It's just to keep the forums from being filled with threads of the exact same thing.

    Poita was just suggesting use the search function as it's amazing how much easier it is to find what you're looking for.

    Here's one thread that could help you. Took me 1 minute to locate that.

    Hi mate,

    First off... In no way am i taking sides here. I can only suggest that there is a possibility that when you performed your search, your parameters might not have been set correctly.

    Bear in mind, that when it comes to headlights, this broadens beyond just the Astra. Searching in just the Astra area may not have had what you were after.

    I performed a bit of a search myself. And found information on:

    - HID's (High Intensity Discharge) conversions
    - Angel eyes, which i understand wasnt an avenue you wanted to go down, but nonetheless, you did find something at least
    - bulb upgrades, which in your original post here you have covered that you already have this
    - headlight rejuvination



    So in short, there is plenty of info here in regards to headlights and upgrades etc. so i wouldnt be calling an admin pathetic just because you were unable to find what you were after. Their job is to close threads like that because the owner has to pay for site costs which includes bandwidth usage. If he hadnt have closed it, there would have been a heap of extra posts that werent really needed as the info is already covered elsewhere.

    I am sorry we did not have the info that you are after. Might i suggest you do a bit of a search on Google and see if you can get the results you need Click here to enlarge

    Best of luck with your future endeavours.
    Cheers
    Sure, we dont have to worry about viking raids or scurvy anymore, but instead we make a daily routine of sitting in flimsy, fibreglass (or metal) boxes full of gasoline which are propelled in opposing directions on the freeway at velocities matching that of low flying aircraft.

    This is a roundabout way of saying that cars are dangerous....
