Auto Parts: auto headlights, auto headlights, car headlights


Question
Mike,

I was wondering if you happen to know a certain brand of car headlights which in the tv commercial says "it's easier to replace the headlights than replacing a daughter"?  The commercial has a dad replacing the headlights in his daughtert car is why it says that.  I've looked and looked and can't find reference to it anywhere on the web.  If you don't know (which I'll be surprised if you do) could you recommend a certain brand or make of car headlights?  Thanks!

Answer
    Would help if you knew the name of the company.  Most lamp manufacturers offer a slightly brighter version of their regular replacement bulbs.  You can find them in any parts store.  If you REALLY want a brighter bulb, buy the brightest replacement offered by PIAA.  They offer by far the best and brightest bulbs available; I put them in everything I own.  Also try parking on a long, straight road and see if the headlamps are aimed high enough to do any good.  Don't hesitate to raise the setting a couple of turns to get more light on the road; all of this is technically illegal, but it can save your life.
