All yall probably know that, well atleast us 95 and under guys. I completly fine sanded/buffed my headlight lenses to crystal clear-and put in those sylvania bright white (like $35) and still don't get good light like other cars.
I remember my chevy lumina would light a block up-not even using high beams. I gotta leave my brights on like all the time.
Another thing, i added fog lights to help-to no avail, just a tad. Everything is positioned right also (headlight assembly)..
Anything we can do..? Could i get higher watt bulbs..? My bulbs are 55w now.

You can get the competition limited wirring kit for them which turns on all the lights at once(brights and dims)

Yeah i know about that, don't even waste your $$$ though.
What i already do, is at night put a 1/8 think piece of aluminum between the light/blinker arm and the post base (right above the tilt adjuster arm)-to keep that back position so all lights can stay on-plus it makes it easier to turn the blinkers with just your left hand pinky with hands on the wheel.
Just remember to REMOVE this 1/8 piece before shutting the car, if you forget your lights will be on. Then again i get that warning chime that tells me my lights are on.
Still though, there's not much we can do.

Thanks 8ate8, i cleaned mine to perfection already.
AND, having the high beams/low beams on at the same time doesn't heat up the head light/wires anymore noticeable. Been doing that since march.
BTW, that is a good tip-putting a shim to hold the back position on the lever, try it. You can use 3 dimes or i believe 3 pennies taped together also.
