Hi all,
My H4 headlights are 30 years old and of course the reflector is not in good shape. As 914 lights are not really efficient at the base, you can understand that now night driving is a nightmare ... So I can buy the same new H4 headlamp, but or ... ... things like "7' HID Composite Conversion Kit" we can find on eBay (example HERE) They are cheaper than glass headlamps, but the main question is about their efficiency. Are these things better than conventional H4 glass headlamp ? |

QUOTE(F4i @ Jan 29 2004, 08:32 AM) That said Sylvania make a brand called sylverstar. They are pricey but I think they would be worth it. I think more has gone into them that a blue paint dip. I have the Silver Stars on my 914, but they weren't pricey at all. I got them at Kragen's, so they couldn't have been that pricey! Check the Kragen's ad that comes attached to the Sunday funnies, that's where I first saw them. pic attached of these Silver Stars.... Attached thumbnail(s) |
