I searched in the forums for headlights and headlight adjustments and did not find anything related. I seem to have a problem with my Mustang and the headlights as I do not seem to get enough light on the road. As the time will be changing soon and it will get dark earlier, I was hoping to get some more ommph out of these lights. I did replace the bulbs with the regular ones (not the purple, red or pink like the ricers have it) but I still dont seem to get the light where I need it.

Just wondering if anyone had this problem and possibly a solution.

I think there are headlight adjustment screws you can adjust, also you can get brighter lights than stock, also if your headlight lenses are dull and yellowed you can get rubbing compound (like for paint etc) and apply that to your lenses and it will bring the clearness back.

md..not rubbing compound silly..use the mcquire scratch remover in the black tube it works great..there are a few adjustment to raise up the h-light...also as MD stated they are some better bulbs out there

rubbing compound is the s**t...my moms rims had this haze over them and it took it away...sorry that was soooooo off topic

Are the headlights still clear? I'm not sure what year you have but my 96 has plastic headlight lenses that get yellow and cloudy over time. I had to replace my factory ones because they seemed to block most of the light and it was hard to see at night. Unfortunately I chose to get the cheap ones for like $75 a piece so they are starting to yellow but they still put out plenty of light<IMG src=smileys/smiley4.gif border="0">.

hey i have the same problem, there are two screws located on the back of your headlights,the look like screws but at the end they look like a socket could fit on it. one is for moving the light up and down and the other,is to move it side to side. To adjust you need a socket that will fit the screw. it is best to adjust your headlights in front of a garage door, or some sort of a wall.

good luck with your lights hope this helps.
