hi all, new to this so hear goes. my headlights are so dull, so don't know if to get better bulbs or buy new headlights, also just seen that some people have polished the glass, so any help would be great, hope this all makes sense,

Check your bulbs!! Mine went dim and still worked but had blackened so only giving about half the light output. A standard headlight with standard bulbs in good working order still gives a decent light output. A set of Osram Nightbreaker Plus bulbs are even better.

but if you want MORE light on the ROAD fit 4.3k bulbs, the higher the k number the bluer and dimmer the bulbs are.

Really simple. The connections are easy, you just form a loop with a ballast and a transformer. The connection in the lamp unit is a couple of spade connectors to the existing connection...
