Headlights way too dim

[4runner269]

If their that dimm, invest in some good driving/fog lights. PIAA/HELLA/KC/WARN.etc... I had some Piaa's mounted on the front of my cherokee and they did a great job in helping shine the shoulders and edges of the road ( 520 crystal ion fog).. Now i have a set of Hella Fog style on the front of my runner and they do a good job to shine the edges up. Overall cost was under $100 and there's so many choices out there. I run with my low beams on + fogs and never get flashed. Only reason i went with the hellas were my stock fogs were rotten with rust. Hope this helps.

Some good trouble shooting in this thread.

However I am forced to say 2 words:

Projector Retrofit

Yeah, they sell them ready to go for BMW's of the same age, like my sons '99 323iC. Why not ours?

Well I can make you a complete plug and play set and ship them to you! haha Just a little lead time, but everything good is worth waiting for, right?

True, but I'm willing to bet that even the BMW "pre-made" ones won't compare to a high quality projector retrofit. I was honestly thinking of building a couple sets of 4Runner ones and selling them instead of always doing custom-only orders. My concern is that some people like chrome and other people want them "blacked-out". I wouldnt know how to finish them accordingly.....

Hmmm...Have any idea on price? Also you could always charge like a core charge type deal, that way production isnt halted for that long and you'de always have a set on hand. Depending on price, i may take you up on the offer. And as far as the chrome vs. black you could always just do it one style or have them let you know ahead of time. Either way i think somebody who has the experience or desire could make some $$ on the side if they were serious enough.
