Default My Headlights Suck....... Who can help..

Hey guys...... I have a 95 SC400 and they are not yellow or anything, but the light that comes out of them i have to say sux. I think it is dangerous to drive with the regular low beams. The High Beams are like Daylight........ but the low beams are not nearly bright enough even with the best bulbs i can buy........... The projectors themselves i think are garbage and i was hoping someone could help me out............... yes, i know there is a search button and all of that, but there is a ton of different information....... I just want to know if anyone can help me out.


Thanks in advance.

Dan

Go HID retrofit. That's the best you can do. Otherwise just go a normal HID kit... that's what I'm doing as I can't afford to spend nearly $1500 on parts and labour for lighting.

The problem is i don't think the normal HID kit will work.......... i think the problem is the projector itself.......... it just doesn't seem very good........ I have really good bulbs in there which i have used for many years and even on the Prelude, the lights are way better and they are not great......... It is frustrating........

if you do a HID retrofit, you actually replace the projectors. I have audi/bmw projectors in my car. Check out the lighting forum or just do a search for "hid and retrofit" under the SC forum. My HID retrofit cost me about $400-$500.
