Re: Keep Factory Headlights or Upgrade?

Brotha' you have a crap load of options when it comes to lighting. I'll break it down as well as I can.

Option 1- Get some $10 Halogen Sealed beams from
Autozone, a couple relays, 2-20amp inline fuses and about 10' of 10-gauge wire. Do the relay upgrade w/ the stock looking lamps and this will suffice for general nightime (freeway / suburban roads) driving.

Option 2- Go to www.rallylights.com and pick up a pair of Hella H4 conversion lamps with 50/75 watt Optilux bulbs. Combine these with the aforementioned relay upgrade to get significantly more light output for longer nightime streches or occasional stints on country roads.

Option 3- Go with option 2 above, but add a HID kit instead of the halogen bulbs. This will give you even more light and even though the Hellas have a very good cutoff pattern- the HIDs can still be a little harsh to oncoming traffic.

Option 4- Go to www.suvlights.com and pick up their Bi-Xenon projector kits w/ HID bulbs that fit in the stock 7" mounting. This will give you the ultimate in forward lighting, but is a very different look from the stock 6024's our trucks came with.

Disclaimer- I have no association with the web sites mentioned, I merely noted them because I've seen the products mentioned on their sites.
