Drahcir495 Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 I pretty certain I am going with the Autopal H4 E-code headlamps. What I need help on is deciding if I should get the WHITE 100/55W (Add $4.00), or the WHITE 100/90W (Add $6.00) bulbs. I have already upgraded the wiring harness to the headlights with 10 AWG wire. I am leaning towards the 100/90 because they should have a decent cut off. Anyone here using them and what wattage did you choose. Thanks, Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOrnbrod Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 I had the Autopal E-code housings with an upgraded relay harness for awhile but didn't like their dispersion pattern; kept getting flashed even on low beams. And yes, they were aimed right. :D Switched to Hellas E-codes and the cutoff pattern was much sharper, and there was more usable light on the road where I needed it. I used IPF 90/60 H4 lamps in each. Frankly, I think Autopals suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard it much more affordable and you can upgrade the bulbs and or wiring later to suit your brightness needs... it's a long story but if I had it to do over again I would haver bought the Hella H4 kit w/the 60w bulbs included and just slowly fine tune it until I had everything dialed and cost effective as possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deziped Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 I have the auto pals with 80/90 or 80/100 H4's. I never get flashed when on low beams. Puts out significant light. However, I do find it a little short on dispersing light to the drivers side of the road. I have heard the hella lens will direct a better coverage of light on the road sides. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEAD_NOT_FOLLOW Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 I went from the IPF's to the AutoPals and liked the AutoPals much better. I don't have any experience with the Hella's in the Jeeps, only in my BMW's. They work well in those though. For the $$, I think the AutoPals are worth it. If $$ was no object I'd run the Cibie's though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88 Beast Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 I've been using the Delta conversion from Quadratec for about a year. One of the best updates I've done. Still using the stck harness. Works great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can anybody recommended any bulbs? It seems the Hella 60/55W Xenon 50+ seem to be a good deal. I wonder how good they are? BTW do you know the coupon code?

I've used IPF H4s for years in all the Benz's I used to have. They can usually be found on Ebay at good prices. In my experience, they last a lot longer than the other H4s. 60-70 watts max LO beam is all you will ever need with the Hella E-code shells. I seldom use the HI beams, don't really need them w. the better lenses and reflectors in Hella shells. It seems the Hella 60/55W Xenon 50+ seem to be a good deal. I wonder how good they are? Never tried them, and they are not true Xenons in a halogen setup. BTW do you know the coupon code? :dunno: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comanche13 Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 ive always wanted to do this conversion but i don't get what wiring harness i need... :dunno: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drahcir495 Posted January 30, 2009 Author Share Posted January 30, 2009 http://www.rallylights.com/ Can anybody recommended any bulbs? I just got an email from Wil at Rally Lights. His suggestion for the H4 is to use the "85/80w Osram hyper bulbs. Part # CP64206 is a xenon white bulb, without the blue. They have the highest lumen (light) output of any H4 bulb we have." I will be going with his suggestion. ive always wanted to do this conversion but i don't get what wiring harness i need... :dunno: Build your own - it's easy. I have a write-up for it on my Build-up page :waving: . - Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good honest guy to work with. I've used the Osrams in the Benz's, in fact they are the OEM bulbs, but not the "xenons". The Osrams didn't last nearly as long as the IPF stuff in my experience. But they will work just fine, as long as they are not the ghay blue ones. So you're going with the Hella E-codes Rich? If so, good choice. :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
