Need better headlights on 94 LHS

I have 94 LHS and the headlights are terrible. I guess as I get older they
seem worse but frankly I don't think they ever worked well. I know that the
lenses are slightly discolored but even with the highest rated new normal
bulbs makes little difference in brightness. I don't want to spend hundreds
of dollars on some exotic solution. Is there something I can do? Does anyone
think that replacing the lenses will help significantly? My other newer car
has excellent headlights that make me feel like the I'm driving in the dark
with the LHS.

 

Tell us about it. THe headlights suck. If you have an early model 94 and
never complained they suck extra bad. They were revised marginally at one
point and if you complained during warranty the bad ones were replaced with
less bad ones. I think you can tell the difference in that the newer ones
have less internal ridges.

You might check a junkyard for a later year set to replace them. Do not put
over rated bulbs in because they will burn out the bad wiring. I' m sure
our resident lighting expert will respond with more details but the bottom
line is that you are screwed. If it makes you feel any better, I've been
noticing a lot of expensive Volvo's lately with discolored headlight lenses.
Don't know how those people can see either. I replaced my 94 LHS with a 99
300M and it has far superior headlights and so far lenses are absolutely
clear.
