Need More Light..Ford Headlights Suck..

[solaris=amazing]

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.

hope you don't melt anything with the extra heat created.

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.
