I have looked around a bit but have not found any real options for replacing the stock dim 914 headlights with bulbs that are a real improvement. The halogens are out there but while they are an improvement, they can overwork the wiring. Before I go down the road of running wires and or relays I was wondering if there were any other options?
I have seen some HID kits but they all have external ballasts. I would like to find a HID light that had an internal ballast that fits in the stock headlight that does not require new wiring. Or at the minimum, a light with better output that would not overwork the wiring. The only brighter light I have found that is not $$$ is the Sylvania H6024 Silver Star. Ideas? |
