head light lenses

1. Any hint on how to increase light output ? OR HOW DO I REPAIR /RESTORE TRANSMISSION OF LIGHT THROUGHT LENSE????

2. Should I use new high power blue/white lamps? if so which ones?

The high beams seem O.K.

Thanks for any help.

DO a quick search on how to clean the head lenses. Also, blue bulbs will be dimmer (although they may look cooler).

Brightening your lights can be done by:
1. Cleaning Lense
2. Brighter Bulbs
3. Ground Wire Upgrade

for 1 and 3 there are lots of posts, for 2, there are a billion or so.

4. Clean inside of projector assembly.
5. Clean projector lens

I'm wondering if the entire headlight assembly could be put in an ultrasonic cleaner to avoid major disassembly...

I alot of people are scared about opening up the headlight assembly. It's not that hard. Just time consuming.
