Default Ugh... Previous owner had headlights in wrong...

I've only driven my car a time or two at night, but was driving it home tonight and kept thinking how crappy the low beams were, and that the high beams left a lot to be desired down low. Decided to check the aim/bulbs, and both low beams were twisted/crooked. Plus, both bulbs looked a little worse for wear. Gonna stop and get some Sylverstars on the way home tomorrow. If I like them there I'll get fogs and highs later.

Were you able to seat them properly and get them to shine the right bits of the road?

Yes, got them to seat properly, and the pattern looked better, but it was late, the car was already in the garage and I was too tired to go for a drive. However, I did notice that one of the plastic connectors was coming apart. Need to see if I can find another. The female blades were fine, just the plastic was cracked.

Will be home late tonight... Work golf league. So, should be able to check them out.

WOW!!! New headlights are awesome compared to what I had before. Silverstars are no HID's, but think I'll put them in the fogs and highs as well. Need to aim everything just a hair, but good enough for now...
