I have searched the message board regarding headlights. But either I did not do it right or there isn't much.

I want to know where I can get bright bulbs for the front. I want to be able to light up the desert roads at night when my wife and I head to Las Vegas.

Do you have and info. on what bulbs to purchase and where?

Don't know how bright you need them but the super whites from the Online Store are much better than the stock ones and cost A LOT less than the HIDs.

Aside from the online store you can check out www.autosupermart.com

 

How 'bout a big light bar full of KC off road lights??? Or a pushbar w/ some big PIAA off roaders??? j/k The super whites are the way to go.

Piaa just came out with the 9007 superwhites that eqaul 100 watts. Looks awesome ...

 

I'd be careful with putting 100watt guys in our headlights, they're plastic enclosures.

Has anyone done this yet and seen if the heat generated is a problem?

I had 100/135's in my Ram Van, but it was a metal/glass headlamp assembly.

I read earlier that some folks had trouble with putting 100's in their fog light enclosures with it damaging the reflective material.

PS
I have 85/100 headlights (I don't leave me high-beams on all the time) and 55watt fogs in my truck. (superwhites)

 

thepawn,

Did you get your fog lights from the online store? Do you have a brand and model #?

Thanks,
Mike

 

I got mine from a local ricer store here in Jersey actually.

From what I've read, just about any blue-coated "xenon" halogen lights will act about the same, so I wouldn't waste money on PIAA's or something.

The fog lights are H3 bulbs, really easy to chage. I'm sure the ones the online store has will work great. I myself got EagleLight bulbs...

I got the Wizard Ultra whites for the headlights from the online store almost a year ago, and have loved 'em ever since. They are very white, w/very little to no blue tint in the light.

I just recently got and installed the H3's for the driving lights (also from Roger) and have had no problems at all. Even after installing the Stongard coverings to the lenses. This stuff is impressive.

It is about 3/16" thick, adhesive backed, absolutely clear, and applies right to the surface of the light lenses.

Once installed, it is nearly invisible (unless you get real close and look for the edges) and is like rubber armor for the $200 headlight lenses, corner lenses, and driving light lenses.

If there were excessive heat being generated by the elements, I would think this stuff would peel off or cloud (the adhesive). So far, none of that. I'm thinking that this might be a better alternative than the original GTO fog-light covers I found, mainly because it won't concentrate heat around the lens and cause the dreaded thermal cracks as easily.

Unlike the GTO lenses, however, this stuff is pricey. $19.95 for the driving lights (the same price as the GTO's) and {gasp} $69.95 for the headlights and corners.

I threw the apc ultra whites in my headlights, and the ipf ultra whites in my driving lights, both completely changed the way I see things at night, wider angle brighter. Plus it adds a nifty bluish tint the road where the lights hit it. I love the look of the pure white lights from the front, from the sides you see the whiteness and a little bluish.
