You do this by, opening the sealent on the headlight itself. I was wondering if anyone else has done this and with what success? I don't like the idea of having to get new headlights if I make a mistake. [img]shrug.gif"%20border="0[/img]

Yes, I did. It works, to a degree, though. It makes the lights appear brighter to on-comming traffic, so you can blind a--holes more easily, but as far as lighting up the road more it doesn't do that. <P>Also, it removes that "star" pattern you can see on low-beams sometimes. <P>Get HIDs if you want more light output.<P>~A

That makes 3 of us for HID's. They are a whole lot better.

I don't know what kind of headlights I got but as soon as I cleaned my covers with that autosol crap it mad emy lights looks pretty damn sweet, and with the bulbs I got I can see the road just fine
