Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

12 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

1 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Except that my 99 has halogen and they are painfully weak - or my eyes are painfully weak - or both. I can't justify the cost of litronics or HID upgrades, so what am I left with for bulb replacements that will increase light output? I've searched and found most threads go off into LEDs or xenon and was confusing. I look forward to input on PNP lamp replacements. Thanks!

POST 2Original post

you can buy hid kit and get 4000k to 6000k bulbs and they will be brighter. Look up your car for the kits on ebay. $50-$100

POST 3Original post

being a 99 how clear are the head light housings ?

POST 4Original post

Pretty 996 Mark.

POST 5Original post

Somebody (not me) tried hotter bulbs in my '99 at some point and successfully melted a yellow spot in the center of the inner lens. I don't know the whole story, but be careful out there!.

Try changing the fuse. I had one (just yesterday) that looked fine but I changed it and it worked. Have you traced your ground wires?

The headlights are working. I just want them to be brighter.

Lol, I'm sorry, wrong thread...

POST 11Original post

My car has the litronics lights so take this for what it�s worth. on many vehicles I have bought the eBay HID kits for around $35 and they have all worked great! I never had any issues. Sometimes reversed polarity, but that was an easy fix.

POST 12Original post

do not use the HID bulbs in the halogen projectors; although it may look cool and light output may be marginally better, it's not DOT approved and you'll blind oncoming traffic. there's a lot of information about it if you search. to properly use HID bulbs you can find some used Litronic headlights to swap in - it's fairly easy. even then, the lighting is not terrific, compared to my BMW X5
