My headlights are pretty dim. I try not to drive at night. So I'm thinking of ordering a set of H4s. But I noticed that current lights look like Cibie's with replacable bulbs. I'm going to pop them open today to get a close look. Does anyone recognize what I've got here?Attached Image

Those are good headlights.Are they sealed beam? Issue may be not enough electrical current or a bad bulb. Check the voltage. Get new bulbs...
