Hello,
I need some help with headlights. My buddies car is a 94 that we have fixed up for him real nice and the headlights are miserable at night. We replaced the headlight assemblies roughly year and half ago with new ones. They are not bright at all and no fun driving at night.

What do you all reccomend to get some nice bright lights on the car. Should we convert to HID kit and if so which one or just better bulbs. Is there any other options that I may be missing.

Thanks

I have the HID kit from americanmuscle.com, no complaints at all. I had a similar issue in my 95. I had Silvania silver star lights (the bright ones), and I struggled to see at night, especially in the rain. Only reason I never got in a wreck is because I knew where I was at and where I was going. Now, I don't really have much of a problem. I need to adjust the light housings a little, but the HID bulbs are deffinitly better, even in the rain.

try some better bulbs first such as halogen or high intensity ones

Are your grounds for the wiring rusty or corroded and have a poor connection?

Hey guys thanks for the replies. I will double check the grounds again to make sure they are good.

About the HID kit how does that work for high beams and low beams. Does it do both or just one or other. I dont have no experiance with the HID kits so any suggestions are appreciated.

Please make sure to buy projector light housings specifically designed for the use of HID bulbs. If you don't, the reflective style housings will scatter the HID bulb's light in all directions, and blind people all around you. I'm sure you've seen those ******** that slap on an HID kit, and never bother upgrading to a projector housing. They're easy to spot. Not only will you be an ******* for blinding people passing you, you'll also be in trouble with Johnny Law since most areas have laws against using HID's with non-projector housings for obvious safety reasons.

That's my .02.

Ummm.....no it won't at least not on Mustangs. Our light band is narrow as hell, and being that we're on the ground, out light doesn't reach very far outwards when adjusted properly. If his HIDs hit somebody in the eyes, either his housings are set too high, or he has the high beams on and the other person is in a car lower than his. Halos look like poo poo IMO.

agreed that its not necessary to change to projectors, and i wouldnt do it anyway because i dont like the way they look. ive had a buddy drive my car at me at night while i drove his, and i wasnt blinded by it anymore than regular lights. To the OP tho, i have the HID, and love them. I bought the kit with the hi/lo beam both and love it.
