Brighter Headlights Please!

So my truck is a square body '90 Suburban with the 4 headlight front end. I lost another low beam and would like a better light. I don't really want to put a sealed beam in there and haven't really found any good replacement kits. Any advice for a kit or relay/ harness upgrade? I also want to improve my REALLY dim gauge cluster. Are there any leds or such for that? I am also looking for some clear marker/ turn signal covers or even smoke ones. Of course I'm looking for cheap, but good quality items. Thanks.

Re: Brighter Headlights Please!

You can easy the dim instrument lights problem.

I use Silvania Silver Start sealed beam lights. They are very bright. Costs $25 each! You can buy a harness to turn on all four lights on high beam. www.lmctruck.com has a harness. So does www.jcwhitney.com.



LMC also has euro light conversion kits.

Re: Brighter Headlights Please!

I put Silvania Silver Stars in my jeep and wired them to relays using the diagram ChiefRocka posted below, The lights were brighter than stockers but the relays made a huge difference.
