Hi, I posted this on Facebook as well... I have a 91 Westfalia and am trying to get the headlights brighter. I have installed relays which did help but they are still not as bright as I'd like. I have read that doing a ground local to the headlights will help also. Is there a "preferred" ground close to the headlights or do I just drill into the metal someplace appropriate? Should I leave the existing ground in place and supplement it with a new one, or should I snip the existing ground wire and just use a new ground? Is this a case where "more is better"? I want to wash the inside of the headlight unit and try to get the reflectors as bright and shiny as possible. I don't want to make anything worse, so am looking for how other people might have done this. Finally, I've bought new higher powered bulbs, so I am hoping a combination of these things will make my van safer to drive in heavy rain at night on a 2 line highway... which is pretty scary right now. High beams are OK, but when I have to go low beams in heavy rain on a 2 lane road, it's outright dangerous. Thanks for any information! Cheers, Steve
