Headlight ?

[blueGT00]

hey guys my finace's 2000 grand prix GT headlights suck at night.Ive removed most of the residue in/out of the headlight and ive put new bulbs in it and they still suck at night.They dont reach out as far as most cars and they dont seem very bright either.The brights suck at night so we never use them,the brights are as bright as the low beams(which aint bright at all).I dont want to spend alot of money to fix this issue cuz were expecting our first child and im fixing the intake gaskets,all rotors and brakes,sway bar,tires and cd player already.Any advise?

Depends what you buy. I bought mine for 50 dollars and I won't ever go back to halogen bulbs again.

[blueGT00]

DDM?...and that aint to bad for HIDS...but whats wrong with the car now,y they so ****ty?

[DreadMcLaren]

Because they are crappy halogen bulbs.

Go here for hids: HID Kits, BMW Aftermarket Bumpers & Lighting, DEPO - DDM Tuning

Check your grounds on your headlights. My lights were dim on my last GP and the Dealer redid the grounds and they were much brighter.

[blueGT00]

ive looked over them...ive had no issues with the lights at all other then being dim

[KeithGTP03]

I didnt have any problems either...I just couldnt see at night. Apparently there was too much resistance in the ground causing them to dim.

[blueGT00]

that does make since...how much that cost ya?...or how do i find out about the ground?

[KeithGTP03]

It was warranty. But if you have a DMM you can test the grounds with the continuity meter.

[blueGT00]

what r they suppose to read?...or should i just get the DMM kit for 30 bucks and call it good?

[KeithGTP03]

In DMM I meant Digital Multi-Meter. Grounds should test as close to 0.0 as possible. If its a grounding issue, you're gonna have problems with different headlights as well.

[blueGT00]

I knew what DMM meant ...i wonder what they read...lets say they were faulty,i wonder how much it would be to fix it?

The answer......

[KeithGTP03]

Oh....lol, Since its both of your headlights, I'd test your main ground (from your battery) If thats bad, you'd easily be able to swap it out. Since you've gotten it all tore apart already, it'd prolly be a good idea to upgrade your power wires anyway.
