Dim Front Driving Lights?

[MPDano]

I noticed from a lot of pictures that the 928 Front Bumper Driving Lights are bright. I always thought they were dim since mine are. Anyone else got dim Driving Lights? How to remedy this?

You could pull one of the plugs and check for voltage.

Are the lenses super-dirty/faded/obscured?

Good idea about voltage. Problem is that these lenses aren't easily removed.

Here is a little tip if your lens are dirty or if the plastic ones are hazed over. This tip does work because my 99 durango had this problem and I tried it and I was amazed.

squirt a couple dabs of abrasive toothpaste and rub it in with a small buffer, go around and around in circles to make saure you cover the whole area to be cleaned. Wipe it off with a cloth and keep wiping until all residue is gone and then clean it with glass cleaner to remove the haze that will be there after. then stand back and look at the shine.

Abrasive toothpaste? What exact brand are you talking about? Would Polishing Compound work?

In the past the tooth paste worked. I don't know about the stuff today. You might also try some mild rubbing compound or maybe some jewelers paste. Also, your local Harley dealer has quite a selection of waxes and restorers. The Harley guys like to keep their bikes quite clean and shined up. I have bought some paste restorers in small tubes, but use caution as some might take off more than you wish. I also use Zaino's Bros. professional show car waxes, a little expensive but works. I also have some diamond polishing paste, very expensive but does it's thing.

What ever you use, try it on a small area first!
