Default Quick question about headlights.

alright so i got the smoked headlight and taillight covers to finish blacking out the mustang. but at night when i turn my headlights on they are very dim and i can barely see the road. my question is would some brighter bulbs like luminics from AM fix this problem or do i need to spend the 270 dollars for the HID bulb conversion kit from AM ? any help would be appreciated im trying to save for gears and dont want to spend the money on the conversion kit, and the headlight covers cant come off cause it makes the murdered out stang stand out from the others and look so sexxxy.

Im not sure if it is possible yet because of heat issues, but I am going to look into getting tint film over my headlights because you will get the blacked out look but it will allow alot more light to shine through them than plastic covers.

i shouldve, but i was trying to go the cheaper way and save money for gears and a saleen spoiler, i will probably just get the smoked headlights one of these days but for now the covers do the job. and with my luck today one of my taillights covers got stolen 59 bucks down the drain i was so mad.

just one? it probably fell off...look around for it... also, the price of an HID kit is more than the smoked headlights, thats why i mentioned it....unless you get the ebay hid kit, those are like 70 but they dont have hi/low, just one setting

yeah just one because i checked them when i parked it this morning cause i put them on last night, and when i went out to get my car this afternoon i noticed it missing and it wasnt anywhere around my car.. its a mystery. but the website vvme.com sells the hid conversion kit for 80 bucks with the dual beams. incase you were in the market for a kit.
