Default Weak headlights

am I the only person who has the weakest headlights in the world? Ive replaced my headlights several times but still have the same problems.

I have an 01 tib... i get 5 feet of light maybe less... is this an electrical problem or do tibs just have weak headlights?

dudes? on original on my tib i agree i had a problem with it, then i realigned them realy well, and it helped out alot, then what i did next is i got HID's, and that helped out ALOT ALOT LOT LOT, its realy worth it, i got like 15$ for the low beams, and $15 for the high beams, on ebay, its worth it, at least for the low beams, it totaly chagnes the look of the car at night, make sure you try realigning the lights.

^^stop trying to be a mod. Headlights blowing out constantly has been discussed before yes, but this sounds different. I would say upgrade to a brighter headlight like Silverstars, or even invest in an HID kit because those last for a very long time. It also sounds like your voltage might be low...maybe check your spark plugs and wires, and your battery too. Maybe you're just not getting enough power due to a power loss somewhere.

dont tell me to "tick off" I was simply telling you to leave the moderating to the mods. If I had thought that this topic had been discussed before then I would have locked it.

Do not get the Silverstars!!!

I have ran into the same thing and I figured that the Silverstars would solve the problem and they were the dimmest lights I have ever used!
