H4 Headlights Options

[Cal]

I'm considering updating my sealed beam headlights with period correct H4's. What's the maximum wattage bulb that can be installed without having to install relays? In the past I've installed H1's with 100/80 watt bulbs in my early SWB 911 and I needed to install relays. I'm not interested in LED lights.

I agree. Nathan seems to have found a great solution. But I think someone needs to bite the bullet and buy a set to see how they fit.

One of the issues with the GE Nighthawks in my car was the headlight protruded from the pocket about 1/4" more than stock which meant we had to adjust the "eye brows" so the light did not hit them when opening and closing. Left a bit more of a gap than a stock headlight would require. Overall, not a big deal, but just so you know.

On the H4 LED lights in my car now, you do have to carefully fit the LED power module into the headlight bucket area and secure it well so it does not move around. That took a bit of fiddling as there is not a lot of room but I finally got them perfectly secured and have had no issues. I posted pictures of my installation in one of the headlight threads.

Finally, I have all of Spoke's LED lights in my car and I 1000% endorse and love them. Plug and play installation that even I could do. They make a huge difference and people comment on them regularly. The single biggest safety upgrade you can do for our old cars. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
