    I need to replace the stock bulbs on my Accord and found them a bit dim
    for low beams. I do plan to re-aim to see if I get an improvement. Can
    anyone recommend a good set of bulbs for the GEN-4 94-97 accord that
    were found to give better results than the stock bulbs? Thanks

    bulbs dim with time. just buy ordinary new ones - they'll be brighter.
    and cheaper.

    Not only that, but the wiring degrades with time and service.

    However - I'd recommend Sylvania XtraVision. I think the Accord uses
    9006. XtraVision will be less than $20 at WalMart and will produce
    more light, although it doesn't aim for that perception that it's
    similar to HID.

    Whatever you do - don't use Sylvania Silverstar, which is a horrible
    waste of money and which only gives an "optical illusion" of better
    performance. They not only cost 2-3 times as much, but they have a
    rated life of 150 hours (9006), compared to 850 for the XtraVision
    and 1200 for standard Sylvania 9006.

    Clarification - less than $20 a pair for 9006 at Wal-Mart.
