I noticed the same thing on the trip home with our bus. The lights are next to worthless. So I bought these:
HID Conversion
And, I tell you…. they are BRIGHT. So much so, it pretty much feels like daytime. The PO upgraded from the square style to the round ones before me so these HID lamps were a super easy change. I did put the same type of conversion in my Airstream Interstate – they have the “regular style” headlamsp and they work great there too.
There is one caveat – on our bus, when you hit the HiBeams, the new HID Low Beams turn off. And, turning HID’s on/off/on/off isn’t good. So I have to figure out how to defeat that system and get it to work so that the Low Beams are on all the time and the Hi Beams flash… so that we can signal other big vehicles out there.
For now, I plan to use the fog lights to signal… and the low beams are so bright they are actually much brighter than the High Beams so I don’t need the High Beams.
Just another, different, option here for brighter lights.
