brighter headlights

I found that "BOSCH " does carry headlights for our 4-light trucks. Just not in a kit. You need to ask your local supplier for these part numbers. I put-em in my 70 gmc 3/4 4x4, wut a difference. Just remember to put a relay to each light. part # 0 301 302 101 low/high beam lens uses H-4 bulb
# 0 301 303 034 high beam lens uses H-1 BULB.
I put an H4 140 watt and H-1 100 watt set and WOW.... again DON'T FORGET TO USE RELAY'S FOR EACH HEADLIGHT.......

Re: brighter headlights

I'd like to try this on my GMC. Any suggestions on wha type of relays?
I bought a set of relays for my chevy from Mad Electric some time ago, but never put them on. Driving the GMC the other nite, the lites seemed really yellow.Where did you get your relays? What brand?

Re: brighter headlights

Curbstone Mech, there is a good post in the FAQ section about upgrading lights and relays - it should help.

Re: brighter headlights

We also carry the crystal clear headlights & bulbs for the Chevy 7"& GMC 5 3/4" headlights.
You'll find them here
http://www.gmcpauls.com/headlights.htm
We also carry the wiring harness with relays to get the maximum light output out of them though we haven't had a chance to add these to our online catalog yet.

Re: brighter headlights

Well, that's that. Might as well buy them from a sight vendor who's always there to answer any questions.
