    I have noticed that my headlights are not as bright as I think they should be. The lens and headlight body look like they are really new, no ugly haze, and the chrome inserts are spotless. What else can I do to brighten up these lights? See below, these are the best pictures I have, any ideas? I hate to take to the cleaning guru and waste 70.00, salute!

    What bulbs are you running? And are they headlights aligned correctly?

    Following this thread, as I just re-did my headlights and they came out awesome using the wet-sand / Spay Max 2K Clear coat process.
    I'd like to get new lightbulbs but I don't want LED's with fans, or ones that'll get hot, or have to run resistors etc. Just looking for the best standard bulb replacement that doesn't tax the electrical system. Keep us posted what you find out . . . good luck.
