headlights poor

[taffyjenks 0]

I have a 1990 Corrado 1.8 16v and I drove it in the dark for the first time tonight.To be honest I might as well have had two candles lit.Can anyone tell me if there is a way to brighten them like upraded bulbs or the like?

You need an uprated headlight loom.

Use the forum search to find out more.

And then you need another one as spare for when the first one breaks... ;)

 

First things first: make sure your headlights reflectors are in good shape, nice and shiny and the lights are clean. Then get some "+50%" bulbs (http://www.powerbulbs.co.uk) and then see where you're at. They aren't the best lights, even in perfect condition, but they should be adequate.

 

Many of the aftermarket looms have a disturbing tendency to fail, which is something you can't say about the original loom. "Not very bright" it might be, but it works for 20 years without intervention .. !

 

You'll be wanting some of these:
