I bought my car like two weeks ago. I haven't really been driving it. I usually take out my daddy's pathfinder... so anyways.. I was driving it last night.. and I just realized the lighting on my car is a pos. I could see maybe 20 ft. in front of me at most. Does anyone else get annoyed with this? What did you do? what kind of headlights do you have? Oh.. and I have yellow fogs and don't do shit.:whatthe:

Well to add to what I told you and so everyone else knows I had the same prob with my wifes car. If you get an earthing kit it will help out tremendously. If you ground everthing electronic to the kit including your lights you will see a big difference. I don't mean HP either you will see less shorts in electrical equipment as before. I use the same thing with the Microwave equipment I work with. It works great and you can get it from any stereo shop or I think JCW. I will take pictures of my friends earthing kit He used some weird colors to do it. He has a dark blue Silvia NA and used colors like light blue red and I think pink.

Also try adjusting the headlights they might not be positioned correctly.

Yeah - I'll second ca18guy's get them correctly aligned. I don't know about s13's, but the lights on my s14 are more than adequate for regular, dark road driving (and the brights are even better).

The lights are very weak on my s13 and every s13 I have driven. My lights are correctly alligned, just had it's va inspection. But it is a 11 year old car and those lights are probably orrigional. So it might just be time for some new bulbs.

my S13's lighting capabilities are fine... <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/whatsthat.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':whatthe:'> I do believe they are the original lamps/bulbs/whatever and they put down enough light to see.

But then again, I am not a big fan of "PIAA Super Plasma ION Intesity Retina-Burning bulbs" ...but hey...to each his own.
