I just sand mine down with 400 grit across, 800 up and down, 1000 across, and then rubbing compound. It works great. Oh, and use lots of water with the sandpaper.

 

The way my headlights are set up (fully stock sport) is that when you have just your standard driving lights on the two on outside ones are on (and your fog lights if you turn them on) and then when you flick your high beams on, the outside lights get brighter (use the other filament in the bulb) and the inner ones turn on and of course your fog lights shut off (haven't gotten around to jumping that circuit out).

 

Is the lighting better than normal headlights are about the same?

 

I'm not sure. I know that they are way brighter than the headlights that I had in my '95 grand prix I used to have. I always just assumed it was because I was that much higher off of the ground. I've never compared them to a standard ram. Also I upgraded my headlights. i bought the xenon white bulbs for it. Not the HID conversion kits or anything, just replacement bulbs. That made a hell of a difference. I think the next thing on my list is to try to get rid of the slight yellowing I have.

 

I just got a generic kit at autozone.. Its just several stages of sand paper, then polishing compounds, then some sort of clear coat

I have silverstar ultra in both high and low beam sections, its so bright its unbelievable... I don't even need my top lights anymore, im gonna aim them more sideways

 

The xenon white lights dont really do anything... if you really want a change in brightness get sylvanias or piaas, I have the piaas in mine and they really light everything up,only problem is that they are a little bluish so it almost looks like your not lighting things up if the road is new and wet but you can still see it much better.

 

screw the sanding.. just get some new ones! lol... unless you're on a budget

 

Heh, I live in Michigan, the whole state is on a budget. Businesses are closing down left and right.

I know that the xenon bulbs aren't the greatest, they were kind of an "e-bay special" I picked up. They are, however, brighter than my stock ones and the road is now white instead of yellow!

 

Heck, just sand em, it only takes about an hour to do both lights and drink beer at the same time.. lol

 

Thats just what I did, hummm $200 vs $10 I would have tried it but was unaware of the kits available to the public. We have a local guy who does light restoration with a Kit from 3m he claims is professional. He wanted $75 to do mine. I opted to just replace them, but be warned on a sport thats PITA too. Have to loosen and drop the bumper about 2".
