Anyone know of any good headlights or mods or anythign that will improve night time vision? When driving my lights just dont brighten the road up all that much. Any help would be useful. 84 -se

Jim - mine don't shine worth a ****, either. There's another thread on this (1st gen) board about light conversion kits for H4's - Hellas sell for about $80, but from what I've heard/read, it's not a bad investment.

They're pretty good. Direct replacement, and just $14 instead of $10 at Kragens. Good place to start.

I have the h4 conversion.......Do a search.....there is a guy who is the expert and sells nothing but lights..they are a liitle on the high side but the quality is second to none.

I also have Hella 50 watt driving lights.....just blinding at night.......every body flashes me or pulls over........

When they flash I hit them with my brights........Doh......
