All,
I installed HELLA 9004 100/80WTB bulbs into my new Hella Glass housings. Rebuilt the headlamp system to perfection starting with all assemblies, wiring, relays (high Amp relays as well for the headlights). My challenge is the 100/80 bulbs are not bright enough........ (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chair.gif) I have enough current available at the lamps to power near anything (12 gauge from the fuse panel with a 30amp fuse). What would you suggest as a next step? Thank you, CTC911CTC (IMG:style_emoticons/default/silver914.jpg) |

I ran a new 8ga from the battery to a mini fuse block to new relays, at the fuse box. Also powers the rad fans and upgraded stereo.
Bulbs that bright need to be in Ecode housings. The DOT stuff will glare badly as 20% is focused upwards to light signs. Currently I've got H4 HID retrofits in old Cibie housings and I plan to keep them a while. If you can afford it just splurge for the Nighthawks or similar. |
