jzd14 Posted June 3, 2003 Share Posted June 3, 2003 hey guys, my headlights suck!!!! I have a '73z and i converted the stock halogen headlights to h4 using a housing from a company called eurolite I have a GM 100amp alternator on my car and i bought some PIAA 135/125w xenon bulbs My headlights are still pretty dim though, and when i aim the headlights so the low beams are aimed correctly, then i turn on the high beams and they're pointing at the sky If i aim the high beams correctly, then the low beams are nowhere near correct I think these reflectors are to blame Has anybody ever used these eurolite headlamps? What did u think of them? I want to know what you guys have done to make your healights brighter I'm not just looking for brighter, but i also want an excellent beam pattern (for high and low beams ) Has anybody here used a different brand h4 conversion that has worked well? Also, any insight into the new HID conversion kits will help: Are they any good? WHat's this 2nd generation HID i've heard about? Are they worth the high $? Lastly, I also want a good pair of driving lights (i don't care what shape they are- oval or round or rectangular) I will be doing a lot of at night highway driving and want to be able to see EVERYTHING that may happen in front of and to the side of me Has anyone had any luck with a certain brand or type of driving light? I've looked at hella and PIAA but there seems to be just too many to choose from, and not enough info on them Hella has a really nice website that shows beam patterns and brightnesses for a few of their products but i can't seem to find those same driving lights anywhere for sale Your help is EXTREMELY appreciated Thanks very much, sorry for the length -Dutch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavyZ Posted June 4, 2003 Share Posted June 4, 2003 The performance of your headlights will always 'suck' unless you start using relays to handle the power that goes to them. Many guys are using the stock headlights with ONLY a relay and voila, instant light upgrade. I don't have time to post any links or threads here, but all this information is waiting in the archives.

Brad-ManQ45 Posted June 4, 2003 Share Posted June 4, 2003 I personally have always used Cibie headlights - with relays. Maximum brightness and control of beam. I have had no experience with Hella or others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest zfan Posted June 4, 2003 Share Posted June 4, 2003 I did both and like them alot. Used 10 and 12 gauge wire, 2 30 amp inline fuses with two relays..Thanks for the info Pete P. I also upgraded to 90/110 bulbs. They come with the kit sold on ebay for 50-80 bucks. Look at Pete's great website. Plenty of great info.
