I am planning on replacing my headlights with some newer units...
what have some of you used? Silverstar Sylvania NOS Cibie Bosch Hella what have you found that works well? Not wanting to do any major changes, just something that might give a bit better enlightenment (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

Either Hella or Bosch H4 with the Hi-Power Relays & 80/100 w bulbs - BusDepot has a deal on the Bosch ones (topic on here somewhere), but Hellas from PP, Pelican, AA aren't much more dough & per the Euro spec 914s too.
USA DOT didn't allow non-sealed beam back then since GE, Westinghouse, Sylvania, etc. had strong lobbyists! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Dan - contrary to the others on here - IMHO 55/65 w are too dim at speed on a windy road or out in the country with our 914s, and with the addition of the hi-power headlight relay kits for the higher power bulbs, the stock wiring should have no problem. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) Different headlights on my 88 Westy (rectangular), but the 80/100 bulbs + relays made a HUGE difference in what I could see at night! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) I wished I had them in the Westy last Sept. up in Bolinas Bay area! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) |
