The last few weeks I have had drivers come to me complaining how bad their headlights are . We have a fleet of IC C series and f series and one Thomas . I wondered if anybody has come across a really great headlight or headlight bulb . Also I have 2008 C300 and I can't find anyway to adjust them for better visibility . Is this true ? I also wonder if maybe there needs to be a relay setup for more power ? I am wondering if going to a white or blue bulb . Thanks
I have been using a brighter bulb from NAPA instead of the the standard 9007 because of the same complaints. I can't find the part number right now. I think it's like $40 for a 2 pack. Also there should be a torques screw to adjust them.
For a Thomas C2 I believe you can now get an entire LED headlight assembly. So far I have not found any replacement LED bulbs that will work in either the IC or Thomas original assemblies.
The best 9007 replacement I've found is the Philips XtremeVision - 9007XVB2 in the two pack. I've bought them from my local independent parts warehouse, but the best prices are on Topbulb.com or Amazon. Not a whole lot of burn hours, but they are definitely brighter!
"Growing old is mandatory. Growing up is optional."
We have started going with an LED replacement for both the 9007 and old 5x7. Only one driver didn't like them because she said it didn't shine down the road enough. All my other drivers love them because they are way brighter and wider.
We also use a product called Beavis from beaver research to clean the lenses. its basically like the 3M kits but works better in my opinion.
Headlight question ..what have you done ??
