Headlight Bulbs

[vorse]

what's the goods on bulbs what are you guys using im tossing up between 3 different sets

ipf Fat Boys come in a 60w or an 80w

Philips extremes are 55w

and Osram nightbreaks are also a 55w

wattage aside im more concerned with the the throw distance does any one have experience with these?

Ring Automotive Ultima 120%.Have them in my daily, increase beam length a fair bit. <br /><br /><br />You can get hid kits for $30 delivered these days though.

If you have projector R32 light then you'll have a bad time. You'll be wasting your time as they will all look similar and the beam will be barely any better.

Wiring upgrade is recommended (run your own relays with thicker wiring for the bulbs). A must if you're going higher rated bulbs.

Or, do a HID retrofit:

(with crappy R32 glass hence the streaks)

my lights take h1s but i have clips for the grill?

so im not sure wich head lights i have ?

If it has H1's on low beam it's a post 91, projector.

High beams will be H3.

With any of these cars the wiring must be sorted before you start playing with bulbs.

Relays need to be fitted to remove the voltage drop and to eliminate the high amperage switching loads on the dash switch, and also the high/low dipper switch switching loads.

Add a diode so that low stays on with high beam.

Then consider HID's on low beam, around 4300K is your whitest (though unfortunately still defectable) burner.

I wouldn't bother with HID into standard projectors, been there done that. Good if you like glare and pencil beams. Better off with thicker wiring+relays and 80W or 100W halogens.
