Whats with the headlights on these? They are worse than the ones on my '07 Nitro. They are adjusted right, but it just seems they are not bright enough. Are there replacement bulbs that will make a difference?
Btw, the fogs are awesome, but we shouldn't need them to supplement the headlights :(

^^correct, however...

Just make sure to check how old the bulbs are as well. I noticed that the headlights were pretty dull on mine when I first got it (used). Took a look at the bulbs and found that they were pretty used up. Put on a new set of OEM bulbs and made a pretty big difference (though I would still like them to be brighter still, but might be good enough for you)..just my :2cents:

I'm gonna keep this a while, so I may have to go custom made projectors in the long run, as I don't believe in HID's without them. But for now I will try Silverstars or something new.

I have Sylvania headlights and foglight and they make a very big difference. I've been very happy with them. I had them on my 08 Liberty and I bought them right away when I got my 11 Liberty.

I actually saw an Escalade last night with projectors. Looked really cool, but it didn't seem to give off any more light when compared to halogen lights.

I put the hella bulbs in mine, they replaced silverstar ultras and in my opinion, they provide more light with further distance. Definatly worth the money although they weren't expensive.
