Whenever you can, swap to clear headlights, and you'll be able to see that much more :)

yeah that may have to come next. drove with them for the first time tonight and while they make a pretty substantial difference they need to be adjusted up and aren't quite as bright as i thought they would be. Still think it's a no brainer purchase for $35 (since a pair of silverstars are $40). I'll let ya know once i get them adjusted how they are.

There should be a headlight aiming guide in your owners manual. If not, there's plenty on line.

What color temperature did you get?

6000k. didnt want real blue blue stuff.
A couple of reasons they're not as bright as you may have expected is because:
- The original lenses are designed for a regular bulb, not HIDs and the focal point is different.
- The lense is diffusing, HIDs use clear lenses.
- The color temperature is 6000K, 4300K is the brightest and the same as factory HIDs.
