Hi Member..if the blue tint bulbs were not bright enough for you then go back to the store and get the white brite bulbs, they are the brightest sold...other then HID's..also are your headlight lens turning yellowish?

Anything you put over your headlights will take away light, not make them brighter. Same thing for colored coatings on the bulb.

Yellow light scatters slightly less than white light; but the colored filter will add extra heat to the lamp housing; probably not a good idea with stock headlights. Blue light scatters the most because of it's shorter wavelength.

Just a couple thoughts...
How are your headlights aimed? If they're aimed up in the air, that makes it seem like they're dim, only because they aren't shining down on the road.

Are the reflectors dirty or corroded inside the headlamps?

I bought some Xenon white lights for my 94 Accord and they will blind the hell out of people, I also have brand new headlights. I dont know if that makes a huge difference or not
