Headlight Troubles!!?!?!?!

ok, heres my problem, i feel like my lights on my 99 gp gt are too dim, or dont shine far enough. I have tried to re-allign them and i have replaced the bulbs with some brighter krypton bulbs which i bought on ebay, is there any way to increase range for these lights though? also, is there some sort of kit that i can buy to convert the lights into higher intensity ones?

If you installed generic branded bulbs, that are blue in color, they are junk. The only bulbs I have personally seen (not saying there aren't others) that actuall increase light output are Sylvania Silverstars.

well, the bulbs that i bought do seem to be brighter than the old ones, because when i was changing them, i tested them and you could see the difference, but i just feel like i'm always outdriving my headlights at night, so you think though, that silverstars will help?

'nuff said, go get some silverstars. They're expensive, but the best bulb I've ever tested (using our photometer at college). And it seems the color is easier on oncoming drivers, to me anyway.

EDIT: My '05 GA rental had a sorry excuse for headlights, and they were new!
