Dim Headlights...
Newbie here. 
I notice that my headlights are a bit dimmer than i'd like. Thinking of an easy upgrade by changing out the elements. Any suggestions?
Mention if I would need a relay swap-out and where I can get that too!
THanks!

The headlights can be easily removed by unscrewing 3 screws. remove the halogen lamp and socket from the back of the unit and pour alcohol onto the lens thru the socket opening and let it sit for awhile. swirl the alcohol around adequately to remove the aging haze. remove alcohol and dry residual alcohol with hot hair blower. You have to make sure the lens is 100%dry or condensation will occur when the lamps are on for awhile. Replace the bulbs with Sylvania Silverstar lamps for $20 as suggested. You get clear lenses and white bright lighting for a little work and few bucks.

I let them dry in the sun for the day. I put my old bulbs in the Silverstar packaging as spares and tucked them in the trunk.

Question...
There are numerous different types of Silverstar bulbs on eBay.
(9003 - 07's, H4 ST's, H1 ST's , etc...) Which do I need to purchase?
Are there wattage ranges I need to consider?
Thanks everyone. I really appreciate the quick replies.
