How about some discussion on this. I find that on dim there is a band of light which had a fairly distinct top and botton cutoff. By turning on the fog lights I am very pleased with the effect then. But on Bright....I really am surprised at the band of light. Not enough for me , I would rather drive on low beam with the fog on too. David

you may want to try the sylvania sdilverstar bulbs
i installed them in my SRT-4 and they made a big difference on the brightness and distance of the light (in both regular and hig beam mode)
i plan to get them for the NITRO

 

[warriorbob]

an add to my previous post:

they also make silverstar bulbs for the fog lights (atleast for the SRT-4) so i would have to believe they would fit the NITRO
or Sylvania will make bulbs to fit the NITRO

Could someone give me the part # for the heads & fogs will pick em up the same time I pick up the Nitro next week Thanks.

The fog lamp bulb is a 9145 factory p/n L0009145 and the head light bulb is a H13 bulb factory p/n L0000H13 let me know if you have any other questions on the bulbs.

I think the stock lights are pretty good and the foglamps do make a huge difference. I keep my regular beams + foglights on all the time. I might look into some silverstars for the headlamps though - I dont feel the foglamps need touching.

 

[danpfay99]

Thanks for the response will be looking them up.

I agree that with the fog lights , the low beams are ok. I also agree that the high beam need help.

I am having a very difficult time driving at night beacuse of the headlights. The band of light is very small and the line that seperates the light and dark is right in my line of vision. The dealer says there is nothing they can do. Any reccomendations?

hrm..might want to see if they can align the headlights higher/lower, if that doesnt work you can alwas try better bulbs such as silverstar..I havent had an issue driving even in the darkest streets - very good for stock light output!

I Have No Problem With My Lights But On Low Beam I Am Gettig A Lot Of Flashes When I Am Passing On Coming Traffic.

That probably means that hte arent aligned quite right and are either aimed a little too high or a little to wide and are shining well into the other lanes..A quick alignment on a flat wall at night would correct this

Does the blue "laser beam" Dodge uses for a high beam indicator seem painfully bright to anyone else? Any ideas?

Nope, you can always dim the dash - however not sure if it dims the status lights for safety reasons.

 

[mkparker]

It doesn't dim. It seems un-safely bright to me.....but I'm old.....

 

[AirJunky]

The blue indicator hasn't bothered me. But I've caught myself double checking the green one for the fog lights quite a few times.
Thinking about getting some Silverstar H3s to get the highbeams to improve.

You are not old since I am much older than you, but we are not NEW as may here are! They just don't know it....(yet):wavey:

Right you are mkparker, I find the blue beam extremely annoying myself since it seems to hit me right in the left eye and it does not dim. It's really a mind control beam that tells you how much you love your Nitro.

 

[lilbeautysxt]

I agree with you guys. Whenever I put my brights on, I feel like I lose all vision that is lower than 3' or so. Definitely think that the low beams and fog lights work wonderfully. I wonder why the high beams are so far off? They do go pretty far tho - that's one good thing. Just still a little hard to see.

 

[bambamdip]

Is there a way to "hard wire" the fogs into staying on when turned on. Regardless of high/low beam?

Time for some wiring schematics NitroLarry...........
