Very dim headlights

My '98 Veccy is the same. In for a service on Tuesday so I'll get them to re-align and or/bin the bulbs and have nice shiny new ones put in!

Don't know about the Megane specifically, but this sounds like an earth problem. Try a direct wire from the negative terminal of the battery to the earth from the bulb, you may have to clean up and refit, or replace the earth wire.

-had a similar experience; washing the outside of the glass worked wonders!

Its winter. Have you tried cleaning the s*it off them?

The other suggestions are all good but it could just be old bulbs. They do get discoloured and let less light through as they age.

Clean the salt off the front. Teach granny to suck eggs as well but....

Could be a dodgy earth. I've seen arrangements where a blown earth does odd things like route back through the high beam filaments and other weird crap like that. It was a Citroen as well so could be a French thing.

New bulbs. Check the reflectors are still in place and have fallen off internal mounts or summar silly.

My van's were like that, turned out to be a combination of loads of dirt INSIDE the glass, and poor wiring.

I had that problem, has just got dark and I was like.. I can't see much with these lights, must be something wrong!

So I stopped, cleaned off the dirt from the glass, and all was well again.
