Default Headlights on 2006 Civic

When I first got my Civic I thought the headlights were really bright. Now they seem average. Is this normal or have my eyes just gotten use to them?

It may be time to have your bulbs replaced. It is not uncommon for the bulbs to dim over time.

I have always replaced the bulbs when they burned out. They aren't a safety hazard either as they still light up the road. Anybody know how much they dim over time?

You might try washing them. I find them to get a lot more defuse when they have even a slight film of dirt on them.
