Thumbs up

I have been trying to find a post that talks about people having dim headlights but i have unable to find it and that is why im writing this post. From the day i baught my car, my head lights have always been really dim. It has come to the point where i have to keep my high beams on almost constantly. I have a 90 Rx-7 and i don't know if they are just naturally dim, or if there is a certain reason why this is. Any information about this would be really helpful.

~Thanx

check the condition of the bulb plugs as well, if there green and corroded clean them with contact cleaner and a brass brush. also check condition of your main body ground.

Whatever you do, don't increase from the stock wattage, with extra relays or not.



The fix:

S6 alt

xenons bulbs with stock wattage and quality reflective lamp housings

Adjust ware they hit on the road
