What sort of choices are there for an FB headlight? I find the standard lights a bit dim and would like something a bit brighter. Any sugestions??

Thanks

Matt

 

You can convert from a sealed beam to an H4 style light for fairly cheap. Should be a decent upgrade.

If you wanna spend more cash you can always go with a nice HID system.

 

I converted to H4. Not only is it a bit brighter, but your headlight will still work if, god forbid, a passing semi kicks up a stone and shatters the lens

 

manntis,
which light housings did you get? i got some from www.procarparts.com and they are not to impressive. the beam is all over the place no where near as direct as the sylvanis cool blue bulbs i took out. the manufacturer was otto

 

I got the Bosch kit - $80 CDN at Canadian Tire (at the time that was aboot $50 US, but now it's more like $60) The reflectors and lenses are well made.

I've seen a lot of similar kits on EBay that are pure crap, with almost no thought given to beam dispersion pattern

 

Surprisingly thoes sylvaina silverstart lights are actualy brighter. My friend has them in her FC and it's a big difference. They are like $25 a peice not bad.

 

I just got the Bosch H4's today...easy as pie install. I'll be testing them later tonight.

 

i have the Hella H4 housings that Summit sells... but the bulbs are crap in these (the ones that i got for my Chevelle are MUCH better/different)

so i'm gonna get some silverstar's, because a friend has them in his civic, and they make a huge difference.

 

Gimme a few days and i'll show you the ultimate headlights for a first gen, Jose Reyes has them on his car, they make the car look brand new production of 2003. its amazing.

Are they HID's? cmon give us a hint.... !! I wanna see!

 

I just bought some Sylvania XtraVision and they seem a little bright, and whiter but have a much better beam patern

 

They look AMAZING on first gen's!!!

 

why did you show a pic of that light?

 

Uhh... because thast what this topic is about

 

what kind are they?

 

Apparently the brand name is something like "truck-lite".

$65 per lamp, including a bulb and 9007 adapter wiring.

I will stick with mine the cost 13.99 a piece direct replacement.

 

These are diret replacement as well.

I will stick with them. i've never seen a better looking headlight on an fb.

 

when you get a chance take a pic so I can see what it looks like on your car, thanks

 

geoff check yer pm

 

I've got SilverStars on my SA, and it is a million times better than stock.


I also have some H.I.D. look Foglights. Those, compared with the SilverStars, are an awesome combo.


I'm saving my nickels to get true H.I.D. headlights, AND true H.I.D. fogs.

 

I used to run the Hella E-code H4 lights. They were pretty good. Big step up over the stock lights. They had a nice beam pattern too. Not the cheapest thing though.

the new sylvaina "not sure of the model" are supose to be the closest thing to h4's and at a good price anywere from 10-20 a set

 

I got the Cibies h4 conversion from www.cibielights.com. I installed one h4 and one stock light side by side. HUGE diffrence. $105 though, not cheap.

 

Bit dim? They plain out right suck *** LOL If you ask me
