Well I installed my new Cibie lamps in my XJ yesterday... I havent gotten around to aiming them... but when I was driving last night with them, they look fine. Infact, the beam pattern is great and I didnt get one Hi-Beam Flash from on-coming traffic... is there possibility that I Don't have to aim my new Cibies? Or is it essential that I do it even though they may seem good already?? Thanks fellas
 
If you do a straight-over replacement, you should be pretty close. but you will want to check anyhow. When I put in my Hella Vision Plus on the 89, and my Ecodes on the 88, they were close, but a little aiming was in order. Also, you should modify the suggested aim slightly going downward, since the brighter lights are mopre likely to "flare" oncoming traffic.

Please aim them for the sake of the oncomming traffic.
