my headlight aren't bright at all and i have HID i think i do. Anyway is a way to tell like if i pull the bulb out if it an HID bulb and if it is you think maybe its just old and needs new ones cuz it is like 6 year old car 1999 so what do you think.

 

HID's were only an option on the 00-01 model years. Unless they are aftermarket, they are not HID, and you would not be saying that they are not bright. Light yellowish/white color= halogen, bluish white=HID/xenon

 

Well there blue when i turn them on but not a bright blue tho its very dim. they're just not bright i dont know im going to pull the bulbs out tomorrow and see how they look. ill take a pic to 2morrow kinda late now.

 

Do your lights need time to "warm up" when you turn them on? It's a second or 2 where they are dim and slowly get brighter? Or do they just go on instantly?

If they go on instantly, then you have regular halogen lights, if they take time to warm up then you have xenon HID's

The other way to tell is pull one of the bulbs out, if it has 2 prongs on the back of the bulb then you don't have xenons just regular halogen lights.

If you don't have xenons, you can get some hyperwhite bulbs or similar and it should inprove the light output. Also make sure your headlights are clean, you'd be surprised how much light dirt can rob from you.

 

they brighten up a lilttle bit but still not bright idk im going to have to check it tomorrow.

 

Sounds like someone replaced the bulb with one of the "xenon like" bulbs. They have a blue tint to them and have cruddy light output generally.

 

If you can post a pic of the headlights on, that would help a lot.

Btw, like the new sig dan.

 

yea ill post a pic tomorrow and im going to take the bulb out and see what kind it is.

 

Thanks I got tired of being PM'ed me about my "oettinger wheels not being real" "because the RZ's should be 5 spoke not RS4 style" or "where can I get a set of Oettingers like yours, I like them better than the 18 RS4's" *mumbles*

 

figured it out last owner put some cheapo *** bulbs in it so its just a regular system not HID. im going to go buy some new bubls now. what are some recommendations?
