First, I don't mean to sound stupid, but are you turning them on all the way? The parking lights come on with the first twist/click include parking lights and "1/2" bright headlights, basically really dim headlights. One more twist/click will turn on your headlights. Pull the headlight lever 1 click and on come the fog lights. Pull 1 more click and 1 more rear light comes on.

If you are sure they are coming on, my next suggestion is replacing the halogens. Halogens lose brightness over time, and if they have never been replaced, it might help to replace them - even if they are not burned out.

One other thing, if a previous owner put in crappy xenon look headlights that look bluish - many of those put out a lot less light than regular more yellow looking halogens. I've compared my box to a guy that had cheap bluish bulbs, my halogens provided much, much more light.

good luck,
Larez
