Very Dim Headlights! by banky3w(m): 9:14pm On Aug 05, 2013
Please nairalanders, i have a very pressing issue dat could save a life because i almost killed a motorcyclist the other night. My 98 camry headlights are very very dim @ night dat u won't see anything past ur eyes no matter how hard u focus. I have 3 working pairs of the specified bulbs(55W) in my car with the acting one. No solution. Pls can anyone help me out on what to do?

I would suggest you clean the headlamps and probably change the light bulbs or better still buy a HID conversion kit for full HID lighting.

Please, for the love of God, do not put HID bulbs in that headlight casing.
Why?

They are not meant for such casings
It will result in a blinding glare to oncoming drivers and STILL will not improve your visibility
Your casing, by your description is already faded. If it cannot be cleaned, buy a new pair of headlights and aim your bulbs appropriately.

The casing is a glass casing and i was told the shiner is still OK!
