Or just buy some brighter bulbs. . .
Xexons are very expensive retrofit

my guess is your lights are not aimed high enough. regular halogens put out a lot of light. in light comparisons, its not always cars with xenon that win. don't get the hyperwhite halogens though, they look whiter but they actually produce less light.

try aiming your lights up a few degrees. my lights, xenons, came from the factory aimed really low, so it was hard to see. i was easily able to search this site, figure out how to raise the lights with nothing more than a flathead, and now its a whole different story.

wth, why are two of the same threads popping up one after another EVEN though the other thread is right below/above yours?!?

dammit people, :


Ok, done venting.

Like mentioned above, since you don't have xenons...go buy them, they're MUCH better than the crappy halogens

get the OEM headlights. Don't bother with higher wattage halogen as they could damage the wiring, connectors or melt the housing

EDIT this option is $700 from the factory, if it costs more than that in parts and labor, don't bother. just buy it next time
