Headlights suck

I was wondering if i just happened upon some crappy headlights or what but instead of being able to see a wide view of the road in front of me, its like the headlights shoot out two straight beams and i cant see a damn thing (they point like a laser rather than spread)...does anyone else have this problem and if so how can i fix it?

meh, your not the only one with that issue. My headlights do the same thing. They are useless on back roads that are dim litted. I fixed that issue by getting some Blazer tech foglights. They were bright however after I did the 100watt conversion they became stupid bright and did a better job then the headlights ever could do.

Have you tried a set of silverstars?

Noooo...silverstars are the bright white ones. They make a huge difference than stock headlights. I love them. They are not cheap however. They run anywhere from 18 to 25 dollars each. Try the low beams first. If you dont like them take them back.
