i dont htink the adjustment would help at all.. the stock lights are pretty weak to begin with. i suggest that you buy some new h4 bulb's and see the difference.. it a big difference.
as for alarm... i would suggest viper... its a bit expensive...

Ok, do you mean that they don't look even as in brightness or they don't look even in alignment (like one beam seems to be pointing higher then the other)?

For an alarm, I'll say Viper as well. I don't have one but I've herd good things about it.

Yeah, if you can't aford HID's, go with some good H4 bulbs. I never thought the stock was THAT bad, and I like bright headlights, but there is no comparison to the HID's. There are adjustment wheels in the back of the lights I believe for the angle. I have a CodeAlarm 2-way, GREAT alarm. Two way paging, remote start, works very well and good range.

yeah there are wheels for adjusting the beams on the headlights. you'll need a long ass screwdriver to reach those wheels... once you get a long enough screwdriver just turn the screw driver to adjust the beams accordingly... there's also wheels for the fog lights as well....if you have the manual it'll tell you exactly where and how to adjust the headlight/fog light beams.

I'm sorry for bring such an old thread back up but I have a question. What's the difference between a stock 9003 bulb and an H4 bulb?? Both have the same wattage and life, why is H4 better than a stock 9003??

Can I safely assume that an H4 bulb fit into our stock location without modifications??

Our cars use H4 not 9003, they are different bulbs. 9003 have the oval type connector, H4's have simply 3 prongs on the back that our factory harness plugs into.

actually 9003 and h4's are very similar that they can both be used. i think the difference is the type of housing your suppose to use it in. H4's or 9003 will both work. I currently have 9003's but h4's are stock.
