dim headlights ???

Is it common for a 98 cl 2.3 coupe to have headlights that are so dim that it seems like you have no lights? I mean it seems like you have some dark shades on at night. I have even been stopped and told I have a headlight problem by a cop. All the systems in the the car seem fine including a charging system check. The brights are fine but the dimms are horrible. Anyone got any brilliant ideas?

Don't get silverstars, they are garbage. They are about $40/pair. I went through a pair in 4 months. They are bright as hell, but they burn out quickly. They come with a 1 year warranty I believe, if you don't mind exchanging them all the time, but the word on the board is that nokya's (eBay) are the best bulb for your buck.
