Default Headlights?

My headlights seem pretty dim. What can i do to make them brighter. Some of those blue zenon might look good. Suggestions? I just want to be able to see better at night.

it could be that your headlights are going out....just buy some aftermarket bulbs, you should be fine.

You might be able to help that with a grounding kit

Alternators too? That's funny that you mention that because I just had trouble starting my car and the battery wasn't dead

Mine melted like grilled cheese.......dont buy plastic connectors, get the heavy duty ones....

and if your considering new bulbs, the eclipse isnt good for HID kits....they use a lot of amps that most eclipse models lack.
