Headlights on 318

On my 318 the headlights seem so poor when compared to the ones on my 140h3. The cover is sparkling clear and the bulbs are new and seem bright for 156 bulbs but when outside in the dark they do not seem to put out that much light. I contacted The Light Guy out of Wi and told him about it and he said that 1156 halogen is brighter but he thinks the heat they produce will distort the plastic lens. Does anyone have any suggestions. Also He thinks if I spent the money for good LEDS THAT I would be dissappointed in the small increase in light for the exppense.

Hey guys after reading several older threads on this subject I ordered new 1295s from www.topbulb.com on the phone this morning and they were only 1.39 each with no min. to buy and shipping was 6.00 us mail. Also they said they would go out immediately.

Like Ben says, there is a proper way to install the lens. The lens on my 318 has the word TOP molded right into the plastic.
