Dim Lights

Hello All,

I noticed my lights are kind of dim. Alot of times I use my brights. I am not sure if I could just replace the bulbs for brighterness. I think the previous owner put in 6000's. Any recommendations or help would be appreciated.

Thanks

If they are 6000k, you might want to try 4300k. You also might want to try cleaning your headlights really good. I suggest PlastX from Meguiars and scrub the crap out of them. They could just be really dirty and cloudy.
