I find the stock headlights on my 2002 XC 70 near worthless - the highbeams are just adequate, the low beams are not near adequate, the fogs are OK.

I recently got this vehcile, and the Buick Rendezvous I had previously had excellent lighting which I need as I drive a lot at night, in Deer country.

What options are there to improve the headlights if any? I know the so called Xenon bulbs you buy at the parts store are really worth buying as they are not much more than a different color light, but really no more wattage or brightness.

Thoughts?

 

Go with a HID kit and you will love it.

 

With the HID kits, don't you have to change the headlight reflectors/housings too, or do the bulbs and ballasts that come in the kits simply replace the stock 9007 bulbs?

 

Some people like to change the lens but I didn't.
You can buy the kits with the replacement bulbs for what you have and they will slide right in there.

 

Get HID's. Only mod you have to do it cut a 1 inch hole in the back of the LOW beam caps for the wires to pass through and most kits come with a stopper (round weather cap to cover it up).

That is the place to buy them from.
