Last few times I drove my '07 Pacifica at night, I feel like the headlight brightness is lacking. I remember thinking the light output was pretty impressive when we first bought it several years ago.
Do the Xenon HID bulbs lose some brightness over time? That's the only thing I can think of that might explain it. My eyes haven't changed and the headlamp lenses aren't yellowed or in poor condition. I'd say the high beams don't seem particularly bright either.
Is it worth it to change the bulbs just for kicks in the hopes that it will restore some brightness? I've never replaced a Xenon bulb, is replacement done much the same way as a halogen, swap the bulb and be done? Or do some other components typically get replaced at the same time? Bulb size is D1S. Any input would be much appreciated.
