Hi, I have 1993 SC300, 125,000 miles. My low beams are horrible. Is there an easy fix to this that I can do myself?

Not trying to be a dick but have you tried new bulbs?

No problem, any bulb you recommend that would fit and give better light?

You may want to either try cleaning the front lenses or replace the whole thing...SC 400 are notorious for getting cloudy/foggy headlights and can affect the lighting coming from your headlights. I recently replaced mine and not only is the lighting better it looks way better too...

You can also try getting some brighter bulbs or halogens...cost a lot more but the ice blue lights look great! you can probably find a nice set up for around $250-350

Cost: $250 per headlight brand new (E-Bay)

see pics...

Looks great...thx for the info.

McGuire's sells a polishing kit that works well with a drill. I used it on my '95 when I bought it earlier this year. Made the lenses clear as new...

I had great experience with the 3m headlight cleaning kit.
The lights question is tricky.
The projectors are set up for regular halogens and you should
not use them with xenon-ballast retrofit. There's a website
that describes changing the projector lenses from a BMW
to fix this.

I stuck with halogens and found the regular sylvannia oems
Are the best overall. Silverstars ultras and PIAAs die after 6 mos.
The yellow light offers better visibility than the carshow ice blues
this is covered on that BMW enthusiast site I mentioned
(on the iPod so can't paste in the bookmark)

Over at club lexus they have an HID conversion from the Acura TSX:

Here's a writeup of what to think about and what can go wrong...

And here's a table of other conversions, gives some insight to what can go wrong as well.

I can't find the lexus forum link that talked about BMW retrofit lenses... but the Acura TSX retrofit seemed to work above.

Good luck and keep us posted if you retrofit!

Remember, halogen light output will drop 50% long before the light actually "goes out." Winter's coming, it's a good time to replace things.

I have to disagree on HIDs not working well with the SC's stock housing/lens. I've got HIDs on mine and I think they're great. Going on almost 2 years now. I lowered the beam so as not to blind oncoming cars. No halogen bulb can compare.

Ebay's got them for like $75 now...maybe less.
