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.

Re: Headlights

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