FJ Cruisers of Northern California

Lights upgrade

Winter is coming and days are shorter meaning we spend more time driving in the dark. My FJ has stock and poor driving lights. I can hardly see anything when driving in the evening. I think I need to upgrade the lights or bulbs.
I started with cleaning the lights. It has not help much. What is the next step ?
I found a suggestion for new bulbs: http://www.shopfjparts.com/product_info.php?cPath=30_82&product...

I wonder if these would help/give more light. If not, I wonder what are the other options. Can anyone advise ? Thanks.

I have a spare set of FJ headlight assembly that I can retrofit with HID projector lens kit kit.
Let me know if you or anyone is interested to try.

I just installed some HIDs for my headlights. I tell ya, they are much brighter than stock and now, I am hitting the roofs of houses! I adjusted them all the way to the lowest setting and they are better, but still very bright and in everyone's rear view mirrors. Now, I am considering having HID offroad lights instead of headlights

I did those same PIAA's that you linked. I really like them

To adjust the headlights, you need a LONG phillips screwdriver. I think the one I bought was 9" long? Once I adjusted them down a little the flashing from other drivers stopped.
