Default Brightest Headlight?

Hello Everyone,

Quick question. I'm looking for the brightest headlights available. I currently have PIAA's in. From experience, is there anything out there that is brighter and reliable?

Thanks so much,

Joe

Question: Why do you want superbright headlights? Are conditions really that bad where you live?

Default I'm Blind

I'm looking into them because since I got the LASIK eye surgery my night vision sucks ***. I'm really not doing it for looks but for safety. Are projector lights SIGNIFICANTLY brighter then PIAAs?

Thanks everyone for the help.

Joe

That's the problem. The first set of lights I had were powered by flux capicitors until the NRC got wind of them. They wanted me to go through all this paper work. Then I thought I had an angle on a new cold fusion lamp but that naver panned out. I was going to try and organize a trip to the sun so I could remove two small pieces that I could shield in some sort of ceramic coated non-conducting housing. Too costly though. Outside of that, any other suggestions?

Magic!

...lol...honestly i always thought PIAA made the best bright bulbs (street legal)...could prolly try a search engine..but i have a feeling anything brighter would just be illegal...did you replace the foglights with brighter ones too? have you tried driving around with your highbeams on?

What about HID's? Aren't those really bright? I've seen the kits available, don't know if they're legal or not though. ~Brian

Default PIAA 2100XT Driving lights

Thanks again for all the help guys. I'm looking at the 2100XT driving lights mounted as fog lights. Anyone have any experience with them?

Thanks,

Joe
