Default Headlights

Had my low beam headlight bulbs replaced at Meineke. They are almost worthless.
The high beams are excellent. Can anyone recommend a replacement bulb for the
low beams?

Ok, I'll bite.

What do you mean by "Worthless"? Are they pointing at the ground? Is there a sharp, horizontal cut off line (bright below-dark above). We'll need a bit more info.

Maybe they put them in wrong, the bulbs have to seat correctly or they are useless.

1) Buy some Sylvania SilverStar Ultra H7s
2) Follow forum instructions for installation. They must be aligned properly in the socket.
