headlight upgrade

[68Bigred]

I know not everyone's cup of tea but I am so used to the xenon lights in my daily driver I put them in my chrysler. Even after running stock headlights from the battery using relays they were just so dim to me on dark roads without street lights. Really light the road up now. I'm going to convert the highs too but really don't need them!

personaly l don't like them for the specific reason there blinding...last thing l wana do is blind oncomeing traffic..espeacialy when its raining..can relate to the duller lights but I just slow down and drive accordingly

I think there are fantastic. Been sort of thinking about doing the same on and off for awhile now. Your lights only give me more encouragement, thanks!

I like th3m as well. However do they have an effective cutoff?

Where did you get them? Are they part of an install kit?

 

[tallhair]

Damn that picture is blinding me

I hate those damn lights, and to think they outlawed the superlite because it was too bright. Those shouldn't be allowed on the road an obvious hazard. The "dimmer/safer" lights have worked just fine for years.

I have to say that I don't like them either. Most people don't have them aimed correctly for that type of bulb and on the country roads around here, the lights are blinding.... Then there's the assclowns that don't understand what the dimmer switch is for.

I used to run halogen Cibie headlights back when everyone else had conventional sealed beams. They had a lens on low beam designed to illuminate the right side and cutoff above hood level on the left to avoid blinding oncoming drivers. They were great except that you couldn't see deer coming from the left (a real issue around here, I've hit a couple) and overtaking a car on the 4 lane meant blinding lights in their mirrors. When the halogen sealed beams become popular, I went with those and haven't looked back.

One thing I have planned for the 300 is to install relays for the headlights.

Dave you and I are on the same page. That and driving while on the phone are my 2 pet peeves.

These are no different then a moden day car! They are 35w aimed correctly with the proper sheild built in so they don't blind on coming traffic. They are no different then my 2012 azera. If you are being blind by people they either have a cheap system or they are not adjusted correctly. I did have to adjust them down. The key is having the proper heat. They picture may be deciving how bright they are. I made sure the bulbs have the shields to direct the light. They were actually a gift from my brother ill ask him where he got them. We upgraded his e36 m3 and I told him my chrysler would benefit from them. Driving last night I could see the line they project is below peoples bumper in front of me.

And then you have the guys with the blue ones. Everyone of those needs a bullet in the head

 

[68Bigred]

I absoutly agree on the off color ones. Here chrysler and a 40k azera. Same color and brightness.

Doesn't your Challenger have HID lights?

Exactly the problem. Even the modern cars suffer from the headlights not being adjusted correctly.

No..........

My truck doesn't either .......... I can see fine without them.

I can NOT back you up enough on this.

100W lamps on a street vehicle is for penile enhancement pure and simple.
Lifted trucks with the head lights targeting your eyeballs need a .38 to the bulbs.
Old people who drive with their high beams on 24/7 need to be euthanized.
Anyone with a headlight out deserves to be pulled over which ALWAYS results in an arrest for possession, outstanding warrant, expired license a/o registration, or SIG (stupidity in general). And it flies under the liberal radar of profiling.

 

[68Bigred]

Wow didn't think my lights would "light" so many comments. I like them and mine are only 35w so guess no need to justify my penile size. That and my 300 are both way above average size. I'll keep 'em ;) lol.

 

[commando1]

Legal low beams are 55W. I'm pretty sure yours are 55W also.
