brighter stock lights

[comanche13]

i know its better to upgrade the stock light harness and get nicer lights but right now i just want a good pair of bright sealed beam lights for my truck so i can tell when I'm driving at night my lights are on my stock lights are very dim and one went out yesterday need new and better ones. any ideas

[Pete M]

In my humble opinion the relays are the best mod, hands down. Shouldn't cost much and should only take an afternoon to do. Plus you'll greatly reduce the amperage trying to flow through those tiny ancient wires and your headlight switch. :thumbsup:

The Sylvania Silverstars are pretty good, about $20 each at most auto part stores.

They are some improvement, been there, but if wired through relays, elimating the voltage drop from the too small AWG OEM wiring, only then they will be a BIG improvement. :cheers:

I too have the Silvertstars. After having the old dim ones, they were a HUGE improvement. I can only imagine how good they will be with the wiring upgrade. You can't go wrong.

[jtdesigns]

Didnt someone offer that wiring upgrade in a kit??? I was thinking I saw a kit along with a ground kit they offered... Pete I believe you had a link to the guys..

[Pete M]

Whatever I have, it's at home on that computer. :doh: gonna be a couple more days before I'm back there.

Wow thats probably not THAT complicated but it sure looked like alot of hassle. I'm not an electrical person though so that can't help my opinions either, lol

I havnt done my lights yet but i did convert my heater fan to a relay,it made a huge difference over how it was before.

 

My brother converted his entire land cruiser to curcuit breakers and relays,it looked kinda cool and worked well.

:agree: I have those same lights, the only problem I have is that people won't stop flashing me :fs1:

[mnkyboy]

Flash them back :thumbsup:

If you're going to go Hella, I'd highly recommend the E-codes over the Vision Plus lamps. I've had both, and H4 bulb E-codes are much brighter than the Vision Plus. Nice sharp cutoff too so if they are aimed right you won't blind oncoming traffic. :cheers:

I've changed my mind already...

 

Now I'm gonna do IPF housings: http://www.4wd.com/productdetails.aspx? ... rtID=11264

 

With IPF X4 bulbs: http://www.4wd.com/productdetails.aspx? ... rtID=14888

 

Or go the cheap route on bulbs and get these IPCW H4 bulbs: http://www.4wd.com/productdetails.aspx? ... rtID=13200

 

The only nice thing is that I get them pretty cheap... :brows:

I am very happy with Silverstars. Going to do a wiring upgrade if I can find a reasonably priced plug and play set up that others feel is of good quality.

i bought rampage lights from quadratracgreat lights $80.00

 

no need to upgrade harness

[Pete M]

It's not so much an "upgrade" as it is a fix for bad engineering. :D That much wattage should really be routed though a relay.

If you used these Rampage lights to replace existing factory Jeep driving lights, you may be okay because the factory driving lights were wired thru a relay. If you just added them and installed your own wiring & switch, they should definitely be on a relay especially with an H4 bulb.

[dakal]

thought they said it would be okay, but short term memory full, so will recheck. i keep going out of town, so haven't done anything for over a month on it.
