[QUOTE="cloudbuster, post: 496286, member: 6653"] It think replacing the bulbs & fuses to higher rating ones are only a temporary solution, and at the same time could be dangerous for old cars without actually solving the root of the issue on hand. As the car gets older, so do the cables & wires in it. The internal resistance of the cables will gradually increase with age, causing a decrease in overall electrical conductivity. Hence, a bigger voltage drop between the source (battery) to the load (lamps in this case). That's what causes the overall dimmer lights. I normally would replace wirings for all my cars which are over 15 years. [/QUOTE]
