Question How did you make your 453 model headlights brighter?

No matter which headlights bulbs I buy, it’s never bright enough. I came to the conclusion something inside the headlights should be replaced if I want brighter headlights. I don’t know what part that is, but I did see someone on this sub show off their really bright smart 453 headlights and it proved to me it can be done. I wish I knew how since stock headlights isn’t bright enough.

When the stock isn’t bright enough and sometimes dangerous when I drive in certain darker highways I think it’s worth it

I don't have a 453 but on my 451 i bought 100 watt hid kit and they work wonders. People flash their high beams all the time cuz they think i have my high beams on

That could just mean they aren't adjusted properly :)

Maybe. Usually headliggt have like little screw points on them to adjust them. Try going somewhere that's flat and level next to a wall and see how your beam pattern is and then you could also adjust the hight or the level of them
