Default headlights

just wondering if changing out the bulbs can make a significant difference in headlight brightness. I know theres the sportheadlight conversion, but im lookin for a way to spend not much money. is there a way to get more powerful bulbs in there without having to get more heavy duty wiring harnesses?

and also, if so, does anyone have any suggestions of good high quality bulbs?

I think its the oils that occur naturally on your skin get on the bulb and can cause problems. You can probably just wipe off where you touched it.

THe silverstars are great. If i remember right the passenger side is alittle tricky but once you get them in, their the best set around. I got mine for 35 bucks.

You shouldn't have to reaim the lights unless you are lifted, or remove the unit for any reason.

i recently replaced the passenger side headlight and i must say, it was kind of a pain to get put back in and pointed straight, i was driving down the highway and hit a small bump in the road, and bam! the headlight came loose and pointed straight up in the sky lol... takes some halfway decent hand-eye coordination to get that bastard pointed right and screwed in correctly
