i would try some new headlights first. silverstar ultras are pretty bright for being conventional bulbs. sometimes you can find them pretty cheap on ebay

I've read a lot that the ebay ones have terrible light output, but that might have just been the black ones? I'm not sure, but I definitely have read that.

I would try a higher output bulb like a silverstar or silverstar ultra too.

I'm curious too about what Matt will say, and it might be a good idea to put his name in the title of this thread. I do kinda miss having a 5th gen with 3 pairs of fog lights though

i already edited the post to change the title, but it didn't work for some reason, maybe mod mike or space can change it to Light issues Attn: Matt or something like that
