Xenons dimmer than candles

My 05 E55 is having headlight problems. Replaced the bulbs and still incredibly dim. Even the halogens in our van are 10 times brighter.

I did a search and read about issues, but no solutions.

Any simple suggestions? Is there an LED conversion kit I could do?

Thanks,

T

I read something earlier about the bowls losing their reflectivity. No idea if this is true but the poster replaced them and all was good again. I've never heard of such a thing happening but it's something to think about?

Good luck!
