hello, can anyone tell me how i can make my headlights become brighter, i can hardly see to drive at night!
My model is just the base model, nothing special about my headlights....just not very bright.....


what are my options?


thank you

 

For starters, some new and brighter bulbs would help some. I like Sylvania Silverstar Ultras or Phillips Ultra-White, I think they are called. You could also try adjusting your headlights up a tiny bit. That seemed to help mine a lot. I have LED headlight "bulbs" now, but not terribly happy with their output....the halogen housing are not designed for them, so the pattern is scattered. I am currently saving up for the Spyder headlight upgrade. Those will get LED "bulbs", as they are projectors, and will have the proper cutoff.

 

Check the adjustments, they might not be dim and instead are not adjusted correctly.

When I got my R59 the headlights were aimed to low. I adjusted them upwards and things were fine.

There should be a hex adjuster on the top rear of the light assembly.

 

these people say this would give me hugh and low beams and would work perfect in my car, whatr do you guys think?

HID/Xenon in a halogen housing will give you light scatter, just like my LED's do. More glare than illumination. I tried HID's in my 2011, and my footwell module freaked out. Try better halogen bulbs and an adjustment first. Then, skip all the HID and LED stuff, and buy a set of Spyder headlights. As I have heard nothing but good stuff about them, they are next on my list. Wish I would have skipped all the BS in between....

 

spyder shows 2 different headlight one is hid and the other is halogen, i want to put hid in my mini...can i put the hid spyder lights in my mini that doesnt currently have hid lights? Im confused?

 

From what I know, you would have to use the halogen Spyder lights if that is what your car came with. Not sure if you couldn't get the halogen Spyder lights and install aftermarket HID's....you may want to ask one of the vendors here who sell them.

 

any suggestion as to what vender and how to find them? to ask that is?

 

ECSTuning and Pelican Parts are 2 I can think of right away. There is a drop-down box under Marketplace at the top of this page. Select Vendor Directory for many more.

 

There are the titanium retrofit headlights that will improve your visibility. They do require coding - left here and right here. Info here: https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...ml#post3856177.
