Default Who makes brighter headlights??

for Trans Ams? These things are not bright enough for these dark country roads in my area? I don't want to upgrade to HID's necessarily, just something better than factory. Thanks.

One thing you might want to look into is a mod you can get from www.stranoparts.com. Apparently when you go to your highbeams it shuts off your low beams. His mod keeps the low beams on with the high beams. that might help alot also. I am thinking of getting this one here soon.

I think this is what you really want www.autooptiks.com a lot closer to HIDS than the Strano mod, and a lot cheaper than HIDs.

NataSS Inc: The car in question is a Firebird/TA, all 4 of their headlamps stay on with the high beams.

If you have a Camaro and wish all four lamps on with highbeams, then go to my website. At the bottom of the 1st page, I have a table contents that will tell you which page to go to for a free mod to do what you want.
I also have a mod to allow the foglamps to run when the high beams are on if you like. Again, a super easy and free mod.
This foglamp mod works on the Pontiacs too from what I understand, but the wire colors might be slightly different. The principle is the same though and it should be easy to figure out.
The foglamps on with the high beams are nice because the foglamps send a 'glow' into the ditches right the critters eyes can be seen, giving them away and allowing you a little warning before they jump out. It helps out here in the cornfields of MN anyway...
Good luck
Dave

I use sylvania silverstars in my 99 S-10. My girlfriend lives out in the country and they light up the roads when there aren't any street lights around. Got to be able to see the deer before they run out in front of ya.
