How do you make Gen4 headlights brighter?

I'm afraid you're asking the wrong question, it should be:

"What's right with the 5th gen headlights?" :shock:

try sticking some fly eye over the lenses then you will appreciate how good they are standard, i have brighter side lights in other cars.

i fancy a set of these in mine, i think they would fit in perfectly with the shape of the front of a 4th gen

5th gen headlights are great. I think they look great when you get the front end right. The light output is brilliant. Dimensionally they are smaller than 4th gen headlights just stacked taller.

I have a confession to make. They are actually growing on me, just like the styling of my 999.

So there you have it, 5th gen headlights are just like genital herpes. You don't initially want it, then it starts growing on you and a sense of attachment develops... :?

hahaha I know what you mean, I've seen so many great looking 5th's that the headlights are not putting me off quite as much either. Still, it would need to be an immaculate white Type-S for me to convert from 4th to 5th!
