comanche13 Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fiatslug87 Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 The Sylvania Silverstars are pretty good, about $20 each at most auto part stores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mnkyboy Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 I have the silverstars in mine,they are a big improvement over stock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOrnbrod Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 I have the silverstars in mine,they are a big improvement over stock 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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dasbulliwagen Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtdesigns Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 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.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ComancheKid45 Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoTGoD Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 you can make your own... http://fitchva.com/jeep/?p=57 This is on my short list!!! Gonna run some Hella Vision Plus lights with it. http://www.4wd.com/productdetails.aspx?partID=10181 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnkyboy Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeep_freek88 Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 I have the silverstars in mine,they are a big improvement over stock :agree: I have those same lights, the only problem I have is that people won't stop flashing me :fs1: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOrnbrod Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 This is on my short list!!! Gonna run some Hella Vision Plus lights with it. 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: http://www.rallylights.com/detail.aspx?ID=744 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoTGoD Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgred2 Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dakal Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 i bought rampage lights from quadratracgreat lights $80.00 no need to upgrade harness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOrnbrod Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 i bought rampage lights from quadratracgreat lights $80.00 no need to upgrade harness 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dakal Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
