Poor low beam headlights

R. P. 2 March 2005 04:13:28
 I am pretty unhappy with the low beam headlights of my '94 Accord LX,
especially compared to some of the newer cars with those blueish
headlights. I wonder if any of you successfully adapted some better
light bulbs than the original stock bulbs.

Thanks,
Rudy

 The first thing to do would be verify your connections including ground,
clean headlights and adjust properly. Then go from there. I have a 96 that
is certainly adequate for night time lighting.

 You might want to try ECE headlamps as found on Accords in Europe. They
are very superior and better performing than the crappy US DOT headlamps.

A popular swap is adapting 9005 bulbs to fit into low beam.
Haven't done it, can't comment on effectiveness

I'm quite happy with my Silverstars.

Well - you shouldn't and it would have to be modified to fit. A 9005
produces more light because it doesn't have the dark coating at the tip
of the glass that's required in the 9006. A 9005 also uses a nominal
65W when a 9006 uses a nominal 55W. This would be illegal and unsafe.

That's ok.
You don't have to like them, I do.
Been running them on, all the time the car is on, for over a year, original
pair.
