Re: [ST] Problems with stock lights?



I too tried the Philips Vision Plus bulbs (gotta order from powerbulbs.com
I think it was, they are not available in the US) and they seemed good to
me.  However the low beam on one burned out somewhere just shy of being
10k miles old.  I replaced both with the new Sylvania Silver Stars,
supposedly their version of the Philips bulb.

So far so good, but the biggest thinkg that helped was adjusting the beams
to the proper height.  When I did the prescribed check against a wall 25'
away, I was lighting the point it hit the floor real well, they were set
too dayum low.  Setting 'em right made a big difference.
