wimpy sealed-beam headlights
Lets face it, these old sealed-beam headlights really stink. Does anyone have any suggestions for brightening these things up? Of course *real* HID is the way to go but I don't wanna spend the 5 or 6 or 700 bucks for that. I'm also not so sure about those so-called "DIAMOND HID HEADLIGHTS" that I see on eBay all the time. It would seem to me that these can't have a high-beam setting. true? So has anyone found a good solution that doesn't cost an arm and a leg? TIA

I don't know about the ones you mentioned, but I got a H4 conversion kit with 60/55 watt bulbs and since they are not true HID they have high/low beams. They also have the sweet superwhite look, plus they are way better that stock. They install in about 20 mins at most. I got mine at:
http://www.showparts.com/ just follow the link named "housings/conversion kits" Only like $45 too! the guy was really nice to work with. Peace :) |
Hey where you at in NJ?
|
those ones you linked are pretty much like the ones on ebay,
wait till my kit come out, that will solve the problem. |
heheheee, YEPPERS, it will :D
|
I like them. What are yours going to be like?
|
I like my sealed beam headlights....well, they're pretty bad at night, so maybe I'll get some better ones. :)
|
Then I guess you don't like them; :)
|
Ok, let me clarify that - I like the look of them, but the beam is insufficient for night driving. There, satisfied? :)
|
Yea but my h4 conversions look pretty much the same :)
|
There are new super white sealed beams out now. I think Phillips make 'em. They just came out a couple months ago. Same as those h4 conversions, but fully sealed.

For the millionth time:
http://lighting.mbz.org/ Don't touch the crappt almost-HID's, ultra-white, cool blue, or any other chitty gimmicks... Read up at the site I posted...Then e-mail Dan Stern, the site's owner. He'll hook you up with stuff that will give you the BEST possible quality light. Trust me...:bigthumb: |
Man I said this once and I got slandered for it. The lights really do suck. It will definately be in my list of 'to do's' when I finish this other job :)
|
Dan sold me a nice set of Hella (I think) e-code (european spec) conversions that use H4 (I think) bulbs...
Absolutely amazing! |
i agree with you mike.. a new set of lights is definatly on the long list of things to do.. unfortunitally, it is towards the end of my list (damn i have to many things that i want to do to my seven.. but damn will she be sweet if i get them all done)
|
i replaced 'em with some super-white deals i got from schmucks and then cleaned off the contacts to the headlights. much better.
