Default Dim headlights

1998 GM LS 130k

My headlights are arguably dim and there is negligible difference in brightness when switching on my high beams. Other than buying a wiring harness, are there any fixes to this issues. Bulbs are newish and headlights are not foggy. I have no issues seeing at night but compared to other cars im driving in the dark. Thanks!

If you have acertained that all battery terminals and connectors are clean and tight, your lights may be aimed TOO HIGH,
which makes it appear that lights are DIM. Make sure your headlights are AIMED properly, regardless of bulb type used.
On The 95 MERC, the Halogen bulbs were changed out for some Cougar Brand LEDs (Amazon.com).
Lights are now whiter, brighter -- with improved night vision.


Headlights = Halogen Bulb on Driver's Side. LED Bulb on Passenger's Side.
