Restoring my '73 914 2.0 to park next to my original (and my first car) '71 914 and want to seriously upgrade the headlights. The car will spend most of its life in Arizona where it is VERY dark at night as street lights are few and far between.
I've gotten spoiled by the great HID or halogen lights in various Audis, BMW's and even my VW GLI. Anyone know of a good BRIGHT aftermarket light that will fit the original sockets?? I've got Cibie lights in the '71 and they are only marginal. TIA |

Get some relays - you'll need them. Then get some quality 100/130 H4's. or go to my favorite HID supplier: UltraBrightLights and get some McCulloch HID Hi-Lo's and be done with it. Actually - I have a used set from my old Subie if you're interested - make you a deal... They were actually useful, unlike some of the HID-Lo/Halogen-High setups I've used. If you're (borderline illegally) using HID conversions, the responsible thing to do is make sure you have 'em aimed low and right to minimise blinding oncoming traffic.. |
