Lighting Issues

Need some help here guys. After a recent wreck i decided to upgrade the lighting in my 91z. I ordered this kit off of ebay (http://www.ebay.com/itm/1985-1986-19...7hocHA&vxp=mtr) and installed it, but the lights arent that bright. My question is, is there something i can buy or install to give them a brighter appearance (for saftey not looks) or did i waste my money. Also i would like a recomendation for the real deal safe LED lights if someone has one. Thankshttps://www.thirdgen.org/forums/images/smilies/huh.gif

I guess Bright was the wrong word. They dont project very far. I cant see the road as good at night.

Be careful what you ask for, in case you get it.

Ya want cheeeeep, ya get.... more of it than you ordered.

Re: Lighting Issues

Just put Sylvania silver stars for the low beams.Simple plug & play.The LED headlights aren't any better than those lousy eBay headlamps.You'll just be wasting more money & by then you'll have spent as much or more than doing a honest to goodness projector retrofit.
