Default Stock lights are pretty weak

I gotta say, the factory bulbs aren't nearly bright enough. They are really dark compared to my old Explorer, especially when I'm using my brights (the brights on my Explorer were awesome). Sometimes I have to double-check that the headlights are actually on...:whoaisme:

The fog lights are good, though.

I just got back from the auto parts store... was looking at headlight bulbs... saw the Sylvania Silverstars which I've had in other cars and was happy with. Also saw the Silverstar Ultras which seem new, but were not available in our H13/9008 size.... what does everybody recommend.

Also, cause I almost forgot.. what size bulb is our foglights? thanks.

Try the Cibie Euro code headlights. Brighter bulbs may help some, but the light still must go where you need it.

Wow, I thought they were plenty bright. I've even got folks flashing their highbeams at me thinking I have mine on when I don't. They're certainetly better than what my '01 Forrester we traded in had.
