Your only upgrade is the Sylvania Sylverstar Plus lightbulbs, about $25 each at Kragens, cheaper if you buy the 2-pack.





You don't have an HID option. I have a '96 LX myself, and I'm in the same boat. Not much to adjust. Do as I did... get the Sylverstars.I have a 1996 Ford Contour GL and the headlight arent that bright! the lenses are clear as can be and i dont?
it could be a battery issue. do the lights get ALOT brighter when you rev up the motor? they will get a little brighter due to your altenator spinning up more amps but if they get alot brighter then your battery could be weak.








i would personally change the bulbs. my cars an 02 and they went dim last year.





when you replace them get sylvania Silver star bulbs or PIAA's bulbs. they are the proven brightest bulb for a non HID headlight.





but whatver you do if you go to a higher wattage bulb be carefull, you can fry stuff if you go too big!
have the actual bulbs ever been replaced?





headlight bulbs DO eventually dim over time. replacing them might be all you need to do
Cars that have Halogen headlights can dim over time - you should change every 3 to 5 years depending on how much you use them. They are 10 years old, just need new bulbs. Should only cost around $5-$10 for new bulbs.

Go to any auto replacement store and find compatible bulbs for your model car, that run a higher wattage. Just like the light bulbs in your home, which run in higher watts for more life and brightness, the same applies to auto bulbs.





They are usually called halogen or xenon.





Other options may be an HID headlight kit, or fog lights. Good luck.
Replace the headlight assembly they do yellow. And replace the lights as well there will be a big difference in light output. Cost? Around 300$ plus labor. Had the 98' Mercury (Mystake) Mystique
you most likely have a bad ground somewhere for your head lights try and find a ground wire coming from the head lights and clean the wire and the area and put it back on you should have nice bright lights again
battery might be weak, check the wires from the lights, check the bulbs
haha! hilarious!! i have the SAME car and the SAME problem!! and it's only getting worse. for one, i know i need to wash my car badly, and i think that's why i've noticed that it's worse at the moment. my lenses however are horribly scratched. if you have already had them adjusted then you probably just need new bulbs.
Go to your local dealer or better yet, wal mart and get yourself some halogen bulb replacements. They're cheap and they'll help you see much further and better.
Well, there are different ways to answer your question. It may be the bulbs begginning to burn out. They will burn out quicker if you use them alot if you drive alot at night or just need your lights on alot. Getting them adjusted won't always fix your problem. I would go out and buy new headlights, but if you are wanting them to shine further and brighter, I would suggest neon headlights. They are very good headlights that can shine very far, but they can get pricy.
