lights

[Matty o]

hey of late ive noticed that my headlights and high beam are really dull and i duno wot the go is? would new bulbs or anything fix the probs?

[walesy]

you can try new baulbs but i doubt that is the problem... the silver reflecting metal inside the lights get dull so they dont reflect as good

[plAythiNG]

get the halogens like i have, but they are only avaialbe for driving lights, high beam are the normal yellow ones!

[walesy]

yeh i had those in my vl but they looked stupid when i had high beam on because they were 2 different colour lights

[immortality]

get some Narva +50's globes or the narva artic blue if you want a more intense white light. if your very carefull you can remove the lense from the headlight unit and give the reflectice surface a wipe with a dry cloth with no solvents etc

ive heard of ppl respraying them with chrome paint. whats that like?

[pow3rslave]

dunno that chrome paint would get it to the reflectivity of the old coating, i'm pretty sure holden still sell fittings, but they're horrifically expensive.

you could try to find a decent set from a wreckers, i had no luck when i checked, they were all as faded as mine, i also bought an aftermarket fixture which was ghetto, all the parts were pretty substandard, and nothing lined up (couldn't even get my indicator back in) but give it a shot, there's gotta be some good aftermarket ones out there.

if u r handy with a volt meter check the voltage at the headlamp sockets... it should be close to batt voltage ~13.5v. dull lights are sometimes caused by a bad earth.
