Well I never thought my headlights were very bright so I replaced the headlight bulbs with brand new ones, to no avail. They are 55w which is the same as my off-road vehicle - fine for 40mph but not road speeds. Is there any issue with installing higher wattage bulbs (i.e. ones for the brights) into the lobeam sockets.
