Dim headlights

Post by Capeasy »

Why do these Caprice's have such low quality headlights? I dont get it, they use projector lenses I even installed a set of sylvania silvester ultra's one thing I noticed is the glass lens dont look crystal clear but look like they have a matte finish. I even stuck a long wooden dowel with a rag inside thinking it's just dirty but the foggy appearance is part of the lens? I have similar projector headlights in other vehicles and they were much brighter even when they had just halogen bulbs but now have either HIDs or LED bulbs which there is no comparison to the incandescent bulbs. I kinda want to keep the original bulb look as opposed to the insanely bright and artificial looking aftermarket lighting that you see on so many vehicles now days.
