Hi,
New Insignia driver here. I've come up from an Astra and I love my new car- the only downside is I think I've gone from their IntelliLux LED lights on the Astra Elite Nav to what I think are halogens on my Insignia SRI Nav. The Grand Sport has had plenty of things added before I got it such as heated seats and a reversing camera, so it's not a baseline SRI Nav and has almost everything my old Astra Elite Nav had, except these headlights, so I've done pretty well. Still, when driving for the first time at night, I did miss the reactive assisted beam round corners etc- maybe a boy's toy which I'll soon adjust to not having, and I won't be that disappointed without them, but I'd like to look into it.
I saw a previous post from 2018 saying it was impractical (or ££££) to upgrade to IntelliLux, I was wondering if that might still be the case now? It's a 68 reg. I must be honest, I know little about lights so I'm not 100% certain the lights are halogen- I'd be grateful if anyone could advise what the situation would be on a 2018 SRI Nav (1.5L petrol turbo if that matters)?
If they are halogen, and IntelliLux is a ridiculous upgrade, would anyone suggest upgrading the lights anyway to LED or similar etc. Or if I'm just fretting needlessly...
Thanks, glad to be a member of the club- always wanted an Insignia and mighty proud of my new ride!
