Good luck partner thats the ones I got too. Don't sweat it I'm a big boy I knew what I was getting into. Thats what I was talking about by they were different. The high beams wwernt too bad so mabey with some higher watt bulbs they may be ok. I contacted the sell to return them. it was 40 dollars for the lights. Proab 10 to return them So thats 50 then Ill get 25 back so its a 25 dollar oops. I may try the DOT legal ones in post 94. I like to roll the dice.

 

Ok. I just went and put them in to see what the deal was and I have to admit, I'm not too happy with them. They put out a whole lot of light but it just isn't that useable. I think part of the problem is the Ultra Blue. I think I would have been better off with the white lights. On high beam they do throw some serious light (100w) but the pattern is kind of weak. Low beam is dimmer than a set of standard GE lights.

It's better than what I had because mine were so old, but it's disappointing to say the least. I'll probably try better aim first, then probably a set of those Hella bulbs. I'm not too upset with them as I'm pretty sure they'll probably end up being ok, I was just hoping for more.

Against the house they're pretty impressive though, but on the road the thril factor goes down very quickly.


Old low beams... Notice the right one is barely working at all.


New low beams


Old high beams...


New high beams. Wow.


And a distance shot of the high beams.



You decide.

 

i just bought the hella h4 conversion with the normal lights and i was very impressed, however i plan on ordering a set of piaa ultra whites, there like 50 bucks but defiantly worth it. and they have the cool blue look from a distance.

 

overrdrive.. are thoes the bulbs that came with the kit? i got some silverstar ultras

 

They're the Ultra Blue 100w/55w bulbs I got with the kit. I paid the extra $4 and upgraded. I found a set of bulbs in the garage last night I pulled from my FZ1 a few years ago that I'm going to try out. I think the biggest problem with the new bulbs is that they're the blue.

I won't give up until I try a pair of those Hella bulbs in them. The pattern is nice, but there just needs to be more light.

 

Wow, thats a ty light pattern ovrrdrive!

My e-codes have a beautiful sharp cutoff

 

Toylocost did you get yours? I wanted to see how your DOT ones looked befor decided which ones to get. I sent back the crystal euro ones I got.

Well its gonna be a while. Im supposed to pick up the truck on saturday. It could take me a day it could take me a month. I have no idea when they will be on.

 

Well if I get tiared of waiting Ill get them and take some pics then you can see how yours will look when you get around to installing them.

 

HAHA okay. lol

 

Didn't get mine today like the fedex tracking number estimated.

Crossing fingers for tomorrow it is supposed to be 60+ and I'd like to get them on.

 

Swank what style you order?

I alos started a new thread with a shortcut to some wireing harness I found on ebay (didnt knw how often people checked back on threads). If there anygood the would work great with the high watt bulbs.

 

You know about the 4crawler harness right?

No i didn't thanks for posting that.

Ok i looked at at and did alot of reading this is the wway ill go if i need it.

 

regularjoe, if you are wanting to see what the autopal e-code ones look like, here you go...


low beam at about 20 feet


high beam same distance

i have been running these housings for about a year and a half and i love them. they put out light right where it needs to be and a lot of it. i am running osram +90 night breaker bulbs and they are the best halogen bulbs i have ever used. they have a slight blueness to them but they are not as blue as silverstars which means they put out more lumens.
