Ford Mustang General Question

My daughter's car's headlights are very dim - (the lenses have been cleaned and polished) - what are some possible reasons for this?

Barb, Her alternator may not be supplying enough amps, causing the headlamps to be dim. I would have the alternator tested for amperage threshold. AJ Pierce

Barb, You could have extra resistance in the circuit that robs some of the voltage for the bulbs. The first thing I would do would be to check how much voltage is actually getting to the bulbs. If this is low, I would check the connections to see if there's any corrosion or loose connections. Suzanne
