Joined: Sun Feb 05, 2006 11:30 am Posts: 168 Location: Olney, Illinois | Hello everyone! This will be my first posting to L.O.S.T! I love the wealth of knowledge here. I've owned my jeep for the past year, since I have purchased it I have noticed that the Headlights leave alot to be desired. i.e. very dim. I have 13.5 volts at the battery ( optima leak proof ) so It isn't a voltage issue. I'm wondering if I should just replace the headlight bulbs. Has this been known to make a difference? If so, what bulbs should I look into? _________________ http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2290621 -------------------------------- | |||

Be warned though...some people complain that the Silverstars don't last as long. However, I have had mine installed for 2 years with no problems. | ||||

If they don't I'll probably go with a HID conversion kit. _________________ http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2290621 -------------------------------- | |||
