Ebay H4s
Well i got my ebay H4s today, The quality seems pretty god for the price, the lenses are even glass. We will see what kind of beam they throw later tonight. I bought them from this guy if anyone is interested.
http://myworld.ebay.com/prostreetlighting/ Now on to a pic of them, and the bulbs they came with. I will get back to you guys on how they fit, and how well they project later. |

Re: Ebay H4s
Do those just plug right in or do you need to add some wiring for more power to them.

Re: Ebay H4s
They will plug right in, but i would recomment the relay upgrade to ensure the life of your switch. Pics coming soon, im gunna wax up the truck first it's embarasingly dirty. just search 6024 in that guy's store to find em. they are like $11 bin, with huge shipping but it's still cheap.

Re: Ebay H4s
Nope not halo ones, just plain old cheap Chinese junk, but for the price you cant beat them, and i think they will light up the road alot better than sealed beams.
and the long awaited on truck pics |

Re: Ebay H4s
I have a relay in there but I did test them without a relay. I have quite a few relays i could send out for the shipping and packing costs.(Please tell me if i cannot say this because i am not a paying member i will take it down) They are off of a late 80's Chrysler product in the junkyard i cant remember what, it's probably cheaper for you guys to just go down to your local yard and find some, i will take a pic later or tomorrow if i can, and they are located on the drivers side front of the engine compartment.

Re: Ebay H4s
i did the same upgrade. i wouldn't say the light output is much better, but it's a different color. yes i used relays. the lenses will turn yellowish in a few months, and you may burn out a cheap bulb like i did. also to install mine i had to modify the headlight buckets because the back of the light is bigger. but i still say they look 5 times better.

Re: Ebay H4s
i bought my truck, and replaced the headlights without ever experiencing the old ones. simple sealed beam's from oreilys. i 1st noticed a difference in light output when i added relays. so i had good lights in the 1st place. then i switched to the diamond cut headlights, and they didn't increase light output that much.

Re: Ebay H4s
Firedog he wanted to stay away from the blue & bought these. Plus he done away with the turn signals as these have the turn signals inside the headlights. Might be hard to see after resizing the pic.

Re: Ebay H4s
these bulbs, oddly, as cheap as they are don't seem to project that blue of a light surprisingly which is great it's a nice crisp white light. I was fully expecting to need new bulbs, but i think I'll keep em for a while they do the job just fine.
