So working on one bug at a time. So the headlights are terrible, I've seen flashlights put it more lol. New bulbs and I just can't figure out how to make them brighter. Could someone shade some light on this lol
Sorry been busy guys but I did find on the wiring harness there is one neg wire that runs off and is bolted to the inner frame.
So really not sure why the lights are so dim it all looks good.
Ok will do but question tho.... even with the car off it dim so wouldn't the alternator only affect it while it was running?
Ok thanks ;)
For what it is worth,simple plug n play and piece of mind.Thanks man, doesn't seem like the kit is to expensive.
I agree that the newer LED's are not up to snuff.Daniel Stern's lighting website www.danielsternlighting.com has many interesting lighting alternatives, including how to wire the lights to use relays such that full battery voltage gets to the headlights. Previously, relays were used to fun the 100W "driving lights" (some of which were converted aircraft landing lights) or some of the "Oscar" dedicated aux driving lights.
He even found a way to wire-around the Chrysler computer voltage regulator (part of the larger body computer) and use a 1970-era Chrysler free-standing voltage regulator instead. Might not work in all cases, but it did with his Dodge pickup truck. Your results might differ.
I've used "E-code" lights for several decades. Never did see the need for using them on relays as they were plenty bright as is. Main thing is that their beam pattern is different than what we're used to, putting more light down the road than up close (as USA sealed beams do, which can lead to a false sense of security, sometimes). That beam pattern does take some getting used to, though, but much better for night driving. They will need to be re-adjusted when replacing sealed beams, too! Their much sharper horizontal cut-off allows them to be aimed "higher", relatively so, than sealed beams (and their "everywhere" beam pattern). I consider the E-code lights to be a much better alternative to the LED lights many seem to like for their "brightness". Better than projector beams as they have enough upper-beam scatter to hit street signs and such without affecting the other drivers or needing "hi beam". Just my experiences with Cibie E-code, Cibie Z-beam, and later SEV-Marchal and Hella headlights.

One of the reasons why i put in a headlamp harness with relays included and put in modern day halogen bulbs.All plug n play no hacking of anything.
