My wife is having some difficulty with nite vision and I would like to install a set of brighter headlites on our 2001 xc 70.Has anyone found a set of brighter lites and put them on their xc?Thanks. BJ

 

Sylvania Silverstars are brighter.

But if you want the goods get HID's.

 

Any suggestions on which type HID?Any install issues that I need to know about?Thanks for ur time.BJ

 

I also vote for the Sylvania Silverstars. Much brighter than stock.

 

I bought a set of Hella replacements & I am very happy w/ them so far.

Order your kit. You need to specify what type of bulb you want. H1, H7, H11, etc... No I don't know what type of bulb you have. I would suggest getting a color temperature from 4300k-6000k. 4300k will have the most light output. The higher you go the less light output you get. The only you do get is a different color, blue then purple. 4300-5500 will be a nice bright white.

I think you need an H7 style bulb, but I would confirm with lets say Advanced Auto Parts, or some other place like that. Or even call the dealership.

 

I highly recommend GE Nighthawks. I have used them in my mitsubishi and they are much brighter than the nromal bulbs and they give a longer beam, yet still bright. They are around $26 for a pair at Wal-mart. In my opinion, they are as bright as the silverstars but $15 dollars cheaper.

 

Go HID's. You will be glad you did in the long run.
