    The headlights that are basically as bright as most cars high beams. Should be illegal

      My Subaru has lights that seem to be getting dimmer, at least relative to too many cars. I can get LED replacements. They’re not legal since the projectors wouldn’t change but they’re widely available and would help me

      My service station even offered to do it for me.

        Incandescent bulbs wear out and go dim over time. I bought some new ones and it solved the issue. Philips Xtreme vision is what I got, it was $15 for the pair.

        Sort of the same thing, but differences in color temperature matter a lot when it comes to perceived brightness.
