Replace your headlites, I did that to mine, and that made it 200% better. They cost like 10$ at an Autozone.

if there so dim u can barely see, then maybe its electrical( altenator)

check your battery terminals if they are corroded or not. check your headlight harness if they are good.

if u need new ones, get a high output ones. GE HO ones. they are 80% brighter than the regular ones. even Sylvania is getting around with sealed beams. see if they are like 55W bubls. the GE HO are 55W bulbs.

This may sound dumb but when I first got my honda I noticed that after about 6 months my shit was dim as hell. I was washing it one day and noticed that I had never opened the headlights and washed them. Shit was like new after that. Still have them today 4 years later. But thats just my retardedness. Do you have a lot of accessories hooked up? This can cause your lights to dim too.

i think the bulbs are just not powerful. my alternator is fine, i don't have anything that should dim the lights. i have a cd player and amp and everything hooked up but thats not it cause the lights have always been dim. battery terminals are not corroded. nothing else is not working (except cruise control; that didn't work when i bought it)

i'll try cleaning them out. i might just go to auto zone or advanced auto and get some new ones.

dude, if ur gonna get those stock looking ones (no H4 conversion just the halogen light or cool blue) just go to walmart and get the GE HO ones. They are just 7 bucks each. or u can get the pair for 12 or 13 bucks.
