headlight are dim

hey guys, does anyone have a problem with their headlights not being bright. mine has always been dim. high beams seem like low beams. not that bright and dont shine high and wide, whats the deal. can i do something to make that better. any adjustments? or do i need new bulbs. if so, what kind?

i have the same problem they dont light up the road 3 feet in front of you. not sure what it is but any help here would be cool.

how dirty are your lenses?

my 1992 Grand Marquis has the exact same problem, when i'm ideling they even go "yellowish". i'm thinking maybe the lenes need to be wet sanded and polished.. but i would also like to have some info on this problem.

If it gets brighter when you rev the engine then I think the Alternator isn't doing its job. Maybe old or not large enough.

Have you tried halgon lights?

I had a similar problem on my mustang and my minivan. First I used the white rubbing compound from AZ and the light polish in a small tube from AZ (1.00) Made a big difference. My lights were also yellow. Good luck

I put a set of euro-clear cobra lights on my 96 GT with silver star bulbs.....much brighter. I also seen an add on a website that offered "heavy-duty" wiring harness and relay for the headlights of late model mustangs since this seems to be a redundant problem

Try the Sylvania SilverStar bulbs (9007). I just installed a set of them on my 1996 GT, and it made a BIG difference....
