Re: Headlight upgrade

I did the madelectrical.com upgrade
I got some water tight relays off of some 80's cars at pick npull. The headlight power now turns on the relay and I got twice as bright lights now. I'm running Silver Star halogen.

Re: Headlight upgrade

I've always sworn by these from the Bus Depothttp://www.busdepot.com/nl910ch4 with 55/100W halogen bulbs and relays for hi/lo. These are basically Indian made copies of the 70's Cibie Z beams with the same or similar beam pattern(E code). They also seem to be quite durable. I've used them on several vehicles with 7" rounds because it's hard to beat that price. That's what's going in my new 67.

Cheers

Griff

I think that part of the stuff in the link is BS. Not saying that you didn't get good results, but they show a voltmeter with some of the electrical equipment turned on, running at highway speeds, and the voltage at a little over 11V. That's a defective charging system, and has no relation to their headlight kit. They don't need to publish BS to sell their kit, if it is that good. If they want to come in this thread and debate me, I'm open to that. Or, they can start a new thread, I'm open to that, too.
