New RB H4 headlight install complete on FB
For those who want a nice lighting upgrade while not going HID or LED route, I would recommend the Racing Beat H4 headlight conversation. Pretty straight forward upgrade. Excellent lens, and uses standard H4 bulbs (included). Direct fit into factory harness and housing. Added much confidence in driving at night.

Well compared to the lights that came installed on my FB these were a big improvement. Glad that you presented an alternative solution. That is why this forum is so good IMO; you get opinions on solutions for issues.

Its all about the lens optics. Just like cameras. Better lens, but focus of light. Thats why the Cibie and Hella glass is more $$.
BTW you might want to consider upgrading the wire harness of the lights, since that H4 bulb is pulling thru those skimpy 30 yr old wires thru the column switch. Plug-and-play prewired harnesses with the necessary relays are avai thru Amazon, etc for about $50

Agreed, what brands available where you are? Is IPF one of them?

Yeah this is nice upgrade. I did the headlight and harness upgrade using the BlackDragon parts
back in the day and its really a significant increase, even from the sealed beam h4 I was running
before and way better than the OEM sealed beams previous to that.

If you're referring to oe on American bound FBs, our lighting laws dictated sealed beam lamps and what we got from Mazda was 50/30 watt,considerable step down from what European FBs came with. One of reasons people make such a big deal about an H4 conversion here, between lamp quality and 60/55 watt H4 bulb there is a very noticeable difference in light output.
