So I have Silverstars for lows and Highs that I put in maybe a month or two ago, and my lowbeams have piss poor lighting quality. I also noticed when I put the clutch in and let the RPM's drop to whatever idle is (750rpm i think) the lights dim down even more, and when RPM's are up they brighten up. Could my battery be crapping out on me? Could my headlights be angled wrong? What do you think?

It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry. And that's extra scary to me, because there's a large, out-of-focus monster roaming the countryside. |

Yeah, I'm trying to get it in somewhere for a tune-up and have them replace it then. The dimming isn't that noticable, most people can't see it even if I tell them to look, but I can see it. Thanks guys.
