    My low beams are pretty worthless too :( High beams work good as well though so im thinking maybe i need to invest in a set of HI globes.

    Yeah, the low beams shine through a lens which if dirty could cause this. High beams don't, just have a reflector behind them.

    H1's are the 'shape' of bulb. You can get H1's in cheap halogen SuperCheap types, HID types or expensive halogen types. It just describes what sort of bulb will fit in your headlight.

    As for the dim low beams it is probably a combination of dirty projectors and a dodgy design from factory...

    Clean out the headlights as per tech article and grab a set of HID's! You'll probably never need your high beams again! :cool:
