Whenever you post please state What type of car do you have?

Also do a search for "Euro lights"

Headlights 86 300e

I apologize.
I forget I am not leaning on the hood of my car at a rootbeer drive-in with my buddies.
The car is an 86 300e.

Really nothing you can do to improve OE (USA) 300E headlights, and the real and only solution is Euro headlights.

Note that this solution requires removal of your headlight wipers and either

do nothing and have hole in sheet metal below lights
get 260E sheetmetal with no hole
get new sheet metal + new motors + new arms + new blades (as on '94 models)
