I've searched through the forum and ive seen people talk about Hella's H4 conversion lenses. I have a 93 pickup with silverstars in them and they work awsome. I've seen conversions on ebay but assumed they are cheap...Where could i find the hella conversions and are they worth it if i already have silverstars?

 

i have a 93 pickup also...and i order the convertion on e-bay and it works wonders...most of my friends can't believe them...they are a blueish color...well worth the $30 you spend for them...these are similar to what i got...cool look too....

You might first consider upgrading the wiring to the headlights first. That way you are getting everything out of whatever lights you decide to run:

I run the Hella H4 headlights, they work well and once installed, you only need to change bulbs if one burns out, not replace the whole lamp assembly. Easy to carry a spare and you have a wide choice of bulbs.

 

i would say that only sounds like common sence. i have been running my 90w low beam/100w high beam lights on the stock wire for a year now with no ill effects.

 

Awsome, thanks for the feedback. I think next time one needs replacing i'll order the conversion...I've got a spare beam so i can wait the time it takes to ship.

 

If those are halogen bulbs and you are not geting full system voltage to them (easy voltmeter check at the back of the lamp) then their lifetime will actually be reduced compared to running them at full voltage.

 

i will check the voltage out tonight...they are the Blue "xenon" bulbs...

 

I put in a set of those diamond clear reflector type lights. Yes, they are cheaply made all right... But luckily the ones I got do have a very nice beam. Others may not.

Put whatever bulb you like in there, they usually come with some generic import bulb that puts out really blue light. I hate that and went with Piaas. What an amazing difference having actual white light instead of that bluish tint!

 

Between all the lights I've replaced in recent years on various vehicles I have quite a collection of blue bulbs (every one labeled super hyper ultra white 50 60 70% brighter than regular bulbs, blah blah blah total and utter BS...)
It's really simple -
1) any light bulb that isn't an actual H.I.D. module for use in High Intensity Discharge systems, ANY bulb that says H.I.D. anywhere on the label - just put it back on the shelf and keep looking, they are lying to you and hoping you are too... not well informed ... to know better.

2) A bulb that is tinted blue is NOT imitating HID. It is merely a blue bulb, and blue is less illuminating at night and does not provide better light to see by. Really good really white bulbs mostly do have a slight blue tint to the bulb due to the Xenon gas, but it's not very dark. The difference is noticeable.

The odd bluish or purplish tint you see when you look at an HID beam is a by product of the plasma process - they do not put out blue light - they put out Very White light, but the eye sees that bluish cast when you look at them. When you look at the objects they illuminate you don't see blue.

 

i have the projector type headlights i had the blue bulbs they suck cant see any thing i had to use my fog lights just to see the road soo i went and got some sliver stars now i can see the road with out my fog lights on
