Not really! Mine are very good, brigth and clear.
Also I've got fog lamps, but left one very weak, so hard to notice that it is on!
Is anybody knows what is it?

Thanks.

No problems with mine, they're bright. Is it just that the lens are dull? If so, you can try polishing them with toothpaste.

As for the weak fog, could it be a bad ground?

My gen2 lights are good. Are the bulbs old or are the lenses really dirty of fogged up?


I just want to tell you both good luck, and we're all counting on you.

Check for corrosion on the reflector.

I am not too impressed with mine at all. I have a Gen II JDM pajero, the lenses are just like brand new. they work ok but I am not impressed at all. I bought 4 6" fogs to put on the front so that should help out a bit on the highways at night hahaha.

I haven't been too impressed with mine either. I have Silverstar bright white bulbs in mine which are a lot better than the yellowish bulbs that were in it.

I installed Ultra Silverstars.

I can see further down the road and is a lot brighter.

Very big difference over the stock H4 bulbs.

Ditto, on both our GenIIs. ALthough, we seem to only get a year or a little more out those bulbs at a time...we're always replacing them. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" />
