I found myself on an unlit road the other night and that is where I discovered that the headlights on these cars suck. i will say they are okay shining straight on, but they provide no periphrial lighting on either side of the car. When turning a corner it is hard to see what could possibly be there. Has anyone replaed their factory housings for something that works better?

Best thing i ever did on my 03 was install Silverstar bulbs in my headlites and fogs. Big improvment.

I installed Silverstar Ultras. Everything is great looking forward. It's the sides up close to the car that is dark. I'll try to take photos to explain what I am talking about.
