Besides BOSCH, who else make H4 headlight replacements?
 
I got BOSCH ones right now, I think its leaking or has some condensation inside...so I'm willing to ditch those and try a different brand. Who else makes these H4 Headlights for our cars?

sylvainia, ge, and I know there are about a dozen others.
just go to two different parts stors and see what they have.
I can't remember the name but someone make one of those high visibility "blue/ white" H4 bulbs. they are about $16 a peice though.

Hella, but they are a bit more pricey. You get what you pay for though.

H4 Bulb replacements made by Hella, Phillips, GE (see above post)Japanese brands and PIAA, PIAA being the best IMHO! I've run most of them.
As far as headlight replacement casings, stick with the Hella (Strictly Off Road light). But make sure they are aimed correctly or be prepared for unwelcome constabulary attention. They have a sharp cut UP to the right! Hella also makes a DOT legal casing at about $30 or so. The off road ones are about $50 each. I've run Hella or Cibie for about 15 years, in a variety of vehicles. Never a problem as long as you put time into aiming your lights properly! Put the clear plastic coating on the front to protect the glass from road debris. Get that at Camper's World, yeah, the RV place!

I've seen different ones on auto part stores.

Many online, auto accessories...

I'm talking about the HEADLIGHT lense assembly, not the H4 bulbs here people. But thanks for the suggestions...I'll check out those HELLA headlight lenses...should be hella nice...:D

I got PIAA casing.
Looks amazing. Lighter then the seal-beam housings.

As for light wise, I got PIAA Extreme whites in there. VERY VERY GOOD.
HOWEVER, the PIAA is japan only, so it's designed for right hand drive and will blind on coming traffic....

This is an amazing upgrade for my midnite mountain runs since it lights up the road 100x better then the stock stuff.

How do you like the ones from Corksport? I was considering getting some.

J-Rat 08-22-03 01:01 AM

I bought the crystall cut housings off ebay but still have yet to install them or buy h4 bulbs.
