Can someone help me with my headlight bulbs. I want to upgrade to really powerful LED (bright white) headlight bulbs, but I do not know which ones to get.
Can someone help find them on amazon or an auto part store?

If you put an LED in it, it will burn out your windshield wiper motors and mess up other electrics.

#

You either need to add a custom wiring harness (called SKBOWE) or use the usual methods of cleaning the headlamps and making them work better.

Dang, they are really dim and only thing I know what to do to make them better is upgrade the bulbs

#

I already sanded and polished the outside of the headlight

#

didnt do much there, and now I am going to get bulbs and see if that makes a difference

Get halogen bulbs or whatever type it already has.

#

what worked for me was taking out the projector lens and removing dust from it. Was quite a thick layer on it

that might work for me too, but I just know that taking apart a headlight is hard to do

#

#

I dont want to mess anything up and cant put it back together

#

but I might just risk it lol, if the new bulbs dont work

#

+1 to new bulbs of whatever is in there - they dim over time. Taking apart headlights, I’ve had success baking them in oven at its lowest setting for 5-10 minutes to soften the sealer, pull them apart, clean the inside of the lenses, put back together. Good luck!
