better headlights
I have a 2004 on 37's and the stock lights suck. With the lows on and adjusted low enough not to blind the person in front, I can't hardly see anything. I've considered the bright box, but that does nothing for the low beams. If I adjust them so they point further out, I cant see anything up close which sucks in foggy conditions.
Is there a lightbulb or some sort of upgrade that will project the low light beam further out. I need another 15 yrds out of my low beams or I'm going to end up hitting a moose.

I went through the same problems as you. The solution= upgrade to the 05-07 headlights with some 9008 silverstars! And you can do the britebox mod yourself with a $.10 diode.

I have never had my headlights out before and didn't realize the XL lights were sealed beams. So the bulbs I got are worthless. I got some brighter white sealed headlights from Carquest which are a lot better. Will the dfuser harness work on the XL and will it still offer increased light output with sealed beams?
