can go to any accesory shop .. upgrade your wiring. it is usually premade. just need to install and this will allow you to use 90/100W bulb instead of the 50/60W bulb u currently use. should be brighter.

bro amran,
upgrade wiring, is it change to new wiring? How much it cost? Using 90/100w bulb, will the headlamp become yellowish in long term?

 

[freeman1314]

Upgrade wiring kit. Will it have any dangerous risk like burning up or what ?

is your headlamp yellowish and contaminated?

Bump: is your headlamp yellowish and contaminated?

Well it's not really perfect condition(already 15 years old) so there's some scratch mark done by stones hitting on it, but it's still consider clear. Just the light very dim.

The insides of the headlight are not reflecting good enough..
You can DIY clean it if you have the time, which involves opening it by oven heating up first.. then just clean all the chrome paint inside....or respray the chrome paint. clean the glass/plastic up abit & it should be bright again....dont forget to change your bulb also....and if you like you can spray the inside shell flat black also...

You can google more detail instructions...

did this about 2 years ago.....still in good condition..ill post some pictures if ure interested.

Sure I'm interested but first I'll need to find an oven which i can use to bake the headlamps. My mother will surely kill me if i use her oven.
Btw, where to get the chrome paints ? Never heard of chrome color aerosol spray paint.

 

[AD_EG]

hehehe..wait for her to go out of the house bro ... im sure anybodies mom/wife will kill us if they found out that we used their oven to bake a car part !

[freeman1314]

I tell her like that the first thing she will try to bake me up first.

That is the most stupid way to ruin your car and put your car at chance of getting fire.
