Headlamp question
I burned out the low beam on one headlamp. I did not realize that the set I bought is actually a Sealed Beam Halogen, Sylvania H6024. If I run these headlamps do I need to upgrade the headlight wiring harness?
BTW, I just bought regular white bulbs, not the cool blue ones, so quit laughing at me...

Re: Headlamp question
I would agree, you don't need to.
But...regardless if you are running stock or Halogen, it is still a huge improvement to upgrade your harness. It's one of the cheapest more useful mods in my opinion.

Re: Headlamp question
ran them for years, did the mod, and it was like I had been driving by candle light all those years.

Re: Headlamp question
By the way, the Sylvania CB's aren't the really obvious outstanding blue lame-o bulbs. They've just got a very slight blue tinge to them; not bad. Best Sylvania by far is the Silverstar. Those things are bright, bright white.

Re: Headlamp question
Awesome.
I will upgrade eventually, but the wallet and the wife both say not now. Just wanted to make sure I wan't going to melt my front clip with these things.
