I'm looking for better lighting at night. Who has converted their old Sealed Beams for something better?
How much did it cost? Can our alternators keep up with it? Tx Doug |

I have a burned out bulb. This thread couldn't have come at a better time. What better excuse than to upgrade while replacing??? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
Where do I find the GE Silverstar bulbs? When I Google for them it looks like Silverstar is an OSRAM/Sylvania name and is for halogen bulbs, not sealed beam replacements. It seems GE's product is called Nighthawk, and is also an H4 bulb system. Anyone got a recommended vendor for these beasties? Pelican sells a DOT-approved H4 light and recommends adding a relay (does that just replace the existing relay?). Is that really all that's necessary? If I do any sort of headlight upgrade I thought a wiring upgrade was also recommended. Also, what's the difference between their regular Hella H4 light and the DOT-approved Hella H4 light? The non-DOT-compliant light is several bucks cheaper and qualifies for free shipping, so it's attractive for a cheapish skate like me. Thx, Skip |
