We have a Revolution with the headlights seen on so many Freightliner trucks. They are simply terrible. Have to use a flashlight out the door to read street signs, not kidding.High beam low beam and driving glow lights don't make any difference.See a lot of Semis with LED lights all around the truck but have not noticed any LED headlights.I think, if they exist, they might be an answer.Anyone know ,of a source, if available or something requiring not a lot of physical effort or bank loan to accomplish?

There are a few vehicles with them but the whole reflector assembly has to be designed around them. Sadly, I don't think there will ever be a replacement bulb or retrofit kit available.

Hi,There is a way to aim your headlight. I pull my car up to the garage door, and turn them on (after dark). Measure the center of the bright part. Then turn them off, and measure the center of the headlight to the ground at the grill area. This will give you a indication if the car headlight is being pointed upward or downward, or straight ahead and level. Then pull the car back about 20 feet, and measure the center of the light to the ground again. Try again at about 30'. If the car headlights are pointed level, then the hieght from the ground to the center of the light beam should stay stable about the whole test. If say the bumper measurement is 20" above the ground, and the light on the door is close to 20" while the car is parked 5' from the garage door, yet 18" at 20' and 15" at 30' distance, then the headlights are pointed downward, and will not offer much light performance while driving. You only need to make an adjustment to bring the light back to level. I like it when my headlights are pointed nearly level, but a bit downward. They should also not point to the left (into the oncoming drivers) but more to the sholder of the road.You might also have a problem with the light being pointed to far to the center of the road, while the signs are on the right side.Also a good idea is to check the weight of the coach. If you have a broken air bag on the rear suspension, it can cause the headlights to point "to the moon" as they say. Overloading one end or the other can also cause the headlight aim to by way off. You also do not want to set the lights, then add 100 gallons of water to the coach, and have the aim go off again because of the weight being added while getting ready for camping.Fred.

There may be other options like HID lighting or aftermarket "hyper whites"... be careful as some aftermarket headlamp units or lamps could be considered for "off road use only" and not legal...Be sure to look for DOT stamps if you are looking at anything aftermarket.

Look at HID headlights. The previous owner of our Excursion 39S installed them and they work reasonably well.Bill

I have no idea what a "Revolution" is and you have nothing in your profile. Is this an older MH? You might have a bad ground. You might also need to run a separate power wire through a relay, again, I have no idea what you have.

Found some references to 2004 using 2002 Lincoln Navigator headlamps and the like, but can't know without the headlamp numbers.

Can you pull a headlight and look at the numbers stamped on it? Better yet, take a pic of the numbers and also of the lights when installed and post them.

Once you have a cross reference, you can likely choose from quite a number of replacements ;)

It in storage a bit of a ways from here. They appear to be the same lights as on Frieghtliner trucks.

They play dirty at me with HID headlights on the highway. Dazzling.

So I fit 9004 halogens 100watts / 80watts and aimed the bulbs down. I see well, NEVER get flashed even on 2-lane roads and I'm a happy camper. Six bucks a pop.

There are overhead LED light-bars that replace the light-bars like KC lights used to have. To date the biggest one I have seen is 320 watts. Not bad for LED. But I think if a patrolman saw one in action he's empty his .357 into it.
