Gen2 teggie owners: headlight question

**dc2dc2dc2** · 01-04-2005 01:13 PM

Hi fellow teggie owners, question specifically aimed at G2 owners. Just wonder how bright ur headlights are at night? mine are ABSOLUTELY SHOCKING and in the rain, its basically like driving with no headlights on, the beam probably shines for only 1-2m ahead. -_-" i heard this was just a crappy thing on G2 teggies or is it just my car?? is there a way to fix this?!
Sorry if i have confused anyone

My cousin has a 93 LS and when i'm in his car at night cruising around they're perfectly fine, just as good as my old car a 97 teg vtir. He hasn't replaced them or anythin since he'z got it. I know this wont help you that much but just thought i'd say something.

By any chance do your head light lense's look a bit yellowish? or not as clear as they should? coz that could be what is causing the problem, there is a way to correct this without changing the lights, this link should be able to help: Re-new Head Lights!
I hope that solves your problem, if that still does not work? you might have to start looking at changing the light bulbs or getting you self a pair of brighter ones which may prove to be a big challange but possible!

if u dont have the time to sand your lights back then giving them a cut and polish works pretty well... but of course doesnt give as good results

maybe try to adjust the angle of the headlights??

yeah on my old Integra LS, the lights used to shine only about 2 metres ahead, so i got the front springs raised an inch or so...the front used to dip downwards.

did raising ur front springs help? i might try sand it...can't b stuffed today too hot n windy in melb! ahhhhh thanks for the advice guys

Yeah raising the front helped a lot. it was because when the person that used to own it lowered the car, they made the front unproportionally lower, so it made the headlights point downwards.
