Default Does anyone else with JDM headlights think they're dim?

As the topic states. I got mine and switched the bulbs for some pure whites from luminicsbulbs.com. The color is better now, but man they're not really that bright. Anyone else have similar results?

you're gonna have to aim your headlights. When you installed the new headlights the alignment was most likely knocked off. Park your car on a level surface about 5 feet from a wall/garage door whatever and adjust them from there

Ok I'll try that, but it seems to throw way less light than the lights on the EK. . . maybe it's the lense design? Any possibility I should upgrade the wiring harness?

Thanks.

Installing different headlight housings wouldnt effect the brightness of the light beam, unless of course there was some sort of tinting film which im assuming there is not. On the other hand, switching bulbs would definately effect the brightness. There should be no reason to suspect the wiring. I recommend checking the bulbs.
