Headlight replacement 2009 Canyon Star

Just finished trip driving a good bit after dark. The headlights on this unit are terrible. The dim lights only shine about 20 feet in front of the rig. Any tips on what to replace with and how to go about it? Thanks

Hella Headlamps

I have a 2008 Canyon Star and replaced the stock headlights with 5 3/4" round Hella headlights from Susquehanna Motorsports:

Headlamps and Accessories, Headlamp Model 5-3/4" Round Conversion

I bought the HL79564 headlamp with HL78155 halogen bulbs.

It improved the lighting considerably.

rtd8-

Be happy, if you have round headlamps. Most of us have coaches with headlamps custom-shaped for certain model-year cars or trucks, and therefore a choice of poorly-made "knockoffs" or pricey OEM replacements.

Before you buy parts, you may want to read this article:

Daniel Stern Lighting Consultancy and Supply

Also, you may want to add a signature to your user profile. It usually includes info about your coach, but people put other stuff in it, too. A signature prevents you having to type that info into each post. Instructions are here.
