kool blue lightbulbs
Hey,
do any of you have this problem?:
I changed my regular white light bulbs in my head lights to aftermarket "kool blue" light bulbs.
Well i plugged them in and turned them on ... the passager side is birght like they are suppose to be, but the drivers side light bulb is really dim.
Could it be the bulb, the plug, or wiring? Why would it be dimmer?
Any suggestions?
Thanks KMAN

I run the Sylvania Silverstar bulbs. Great bulbs! They are the super whites, not the blues though. Most everyone I know has run into problems with the blue bulbs - from them not working at all to blowing frequently...

I have used the Sylvania Cool Blue's for about 6 months and they are great. For $18.00 at WalMart, I now have much brighter than stock lighting and no problems with them whatsoever. You could go ahead and pay $25.00 each for Silverstars but I don't see that they are that much of a difference.

If you haven't found the problem yet, check the high and low beam(single light each side). If both are very dim look for a bad ground. Likely a broken wire on the socket. A bad ground forces the juice thru both Elements causing a High Resistace condition and on other FORDS I have had, it found a ground thru the hi-beam indicator on the dash. Weird

I'll third the notion on PIAAs, they have high quality products. If you want the HID look, go with PLASMA line of headlights.
As for your dim bulb, check your headlight fuse.
best of luck

The Silverstars are brighter than stock, and are not the 'blue color'. They are more a cool white than blue, but you can really see a difference with them...
