Default Check your headlights!!

Thought I would pass along something I learned tonight:

I have this 1999 Jeep. I have had it since new. Never blew a headlight, so I never replaced any. But I kept feeling like they weren't working right lately. That and all the HID systems out there are so much brighter than me!

Anyway, I read an article this weekend by Pat Goss ('s staff) in the paper about how headlights eventually go bad after like 3 years.

So I bought two new Sylvania "Cool Blue" headlight and installed them. Wow! I can see again! There was all this crap on the reflector part of my old lights and I don't think the glass was cracked.

The "cool blues" are a disapointment in that I thought they would be more like a cheapo HID-type look, but I can actually see at night.

Just thought I would pass this along, since I don't have any Porsche-related content tonight.
