My headlights are pretty dim. I try not to drive at night. So I'm thinking of ordering a set of H4s. But I noticed that current lights look like Cibie's with replacable bulbs. I'm going to pop them open today to get a close look. Does anyone recognize what I've got here?

So....headlights are dreadfully dim. And I couldnt adjust them high enough before the top adjustment screw bottomed out against the inside of the headlight housing. So the fix for that is easy, just cut the screw a little shorter. I can't really adjust that via the position of the headlight's movement since it will then be too high in the rest position, right?
The dimness problem I'll need to track down. First I'll try my grounds. If those are good, then it's a bad switch or tired wires? |
