[pntbll724]

ok... so i jus bought new head lights the halogen ones with the blue tint to them... i installed them... and like when i put the high beams on they arent that bright... then i pull in the switch to flassh someone with them as i was giving them the right away they are bright as hell... is there a way to make my lights brighter or is there a problem with my lighting assembly

i have a 97 ford explorer SOCH V6 4.0L sport

9007 bulbs are dual filament. When you pull back, unlike many cars, the Explorer does not just light the high filament, but also the low. So, you will have double the output when pulling the stalk back, but not when the highs are on alone. I do not know if a way to keep both filaments burning, however. I do know that if you do, the lifespan of your bulbs will go down the tubes.

And welcome to the site.

Welcome to this forum! You could add a bypass switch for off road use only to the second filament so that you could have both of them on at the same time.

What you want can be accomplished by using the following:

And as far as burning out bulbs, it just hasn't happen to me yet.
