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?

A poor ground is far more likely than insufficient current. If they're both dim I'd install new bulbs after cleaning the lens and reflector by sloshing denatured alcohol inside. I had good luck with this method on my Vanagon headlamps. Go for 100 / 55 bulbs |
