i want to change my stock headlights, the visibility at night is so hard because of the dark tint, any recommendation on what to buy and what brand?

I hate to disappoint you but no brand or amount of brightness can do much help to make visibility better. I best recommend you to change the front windshield tint to 3M medium black (what I have on my SUV). With that, even by just using all weather bulbs, visibility is improved and reduces you eye strain.

Yep. I agree, remove/change your tint. I once had the chance to ride in my family-friend's trooper, with super black tints on all windows....err, I thought the street lamps were off that time, but when I rolled down the windows, open pala The visibility`s hard, yeah it was hard, parking the car was like a challenge to the driver ( at least ).....dunno with them, until now, they still dont wanna remove/change their tints, although the troop`s hl is yellow. 3000k (?)

July 22nd, 2009 08:03 PM #6Di ata projectors ang Lowbeam ng Altis. So kalat yun Hid mo. Not advisable, since it throws less useable light.

Pardon my French but HID sucks! Had those on my Trooper before. When it rains... specially on wet, asphalt road, mas malakas pa ang flashlight!.... LITERALLY!

Besides, HIDs are are best on projector-type headlamps.... so if not, I would still recommend all-weather type halogens.
