    dim headlights on a 99....what gives?

    for a police interceptor i'm stunned at how weak the headlights are....now the lenses are yellowed, but they're not yellowed too horribly...i've seen a lot worse.

    any cheap and ez way to get better headlights? Any bulbs that are brighter that would work,....not sure if I want to bother with an HID conversion

    as bulbs age they emit less and less light. just try a new set of oem replacements.

        +1 on new bubs. I have an S10 with regular glass sealed beams, so no yellowing. It got to the point where I couldn't see for crap unless the highs were on. New headlights and it was like driving a different truck. The bulbs boil off tungsten and deposit it on the glass, turning them darker with use.
