    When I have my lights on low beam they only light up the road 5 meters in front of the car. How can I make them brighter or adjust them to shine further out

    1st make sure your lights work correctly
    check parkers, then low beam then high beam
    if they work there is a height adjuster screw between main and high beam bulbs
    there is a procedure to adjust, an underground carpark or industrial estate works best must have level road
    with tyres inflated correctly and half tank fuel
    drive up to a wall, switch lights onto lowbeam and mark centre position of lights on wall with tape
    back up in a straight line 7.6 meters switch to hi beam
    adjust horizontal aim (left/right) (adjuster screw between main bulb and park lamp) so it is in line with mark
    adjust vertical(up/down) so high beam is exactly centered on mark
    remove tape and you are done

    Just buy some different globes....
    Vt's take H4 and maximum legal is 4000k
    I recommend narva lights, they seem pretty good. Go to their website or you can just get them at repco
