    Have you tried aiming them using the adjustment screws on each headlamp assembly? It sounds like the lights may be pointed too far down.

      Make sure you are using 9004's also. 9007's wont index correctly in the factory housings.

        I got some H4 bulbs from this guy on Ebay for another car. Here are some 100/80 watt 9004's. Just so you know that wattage is illegal but if aimed properly no one will know. http://www.ebay.com/itm/2-X-9004-Hal...4c6a57&vxp=mtr

          I'd be wary of running higher wattage bulbs. The wiring isn't the greatest in these cars. At the very least add a nice relay setup to pull directly from the battery.

            Good point. On the other vehicle I have the higher wattage bulbs, I did install relays and better wiring.
