Default Headlight problems

I have some problems with my headlights being very dim. Anyone know what kind of bulbs I'll have to buy to improve this? I have to turn on my HIghbeams to see properly

What is your system voltage with the car running? Your headlights should not be dim.

I assume that you have a G3. Are your lenses yellowed? Post a picture.

You can polish them to whiten the lenses. I cannot recommend a product offhand, but you can search here or Google.

I used Scrach Off to clean mine, really made a big difference.

Get bulbs that putout 4500 lumens, this is plenty for your wiring type. Cleaning helps also.
