Yes. Very interested. I can't see very well at night even with the brights on. They still have the high and low beam settings right? Just straight OEM replacement you said. If so, I am interested.

You'll be using the H4 bulb, you can buy them in several configurations, you can get higher watt low and high beams, you can get the same, but bright white, that's why I decided to sell them without the bulb so you can make that choice, if they have good bulb prices, I'll stick them up in the store as well and you can decide what you want when you order them... although I doubt I will stock the bulbs.

What bulbs are you running?

Regular white H4s.



I think I may be just having a ground issue though.

Yea that is odd, I am running the 80/100's was thinking about going to the 90/100's, but I have not had any wiring issues and have even ran my brights for extended periods of time. Theoretically the standard h4 shouldn't be any greater draw then the sealed beams.

Oh, so you are just selling the "bulb surrounding"? On the s4 bulb surrounds, it is just one whole piece glued together and you can't change the bulb out. Real pain in the ass. But this looks like a good deal going right now.



I will buy them when you post them up on the store.

If I can get some good pricing on bulbs I will sell them as well and prolly a package, but I wanna leave it open as well so you can choose your own bulb.



The 2nd Gen headlight assembly is a sealed beam fixture and the entire assembly has to be replaced, they are also pretty pathetic in the lighting area, with this conversion you can use your choice of h4 bulbs you also get some increased lighting from the diamond backed fixture, but I honestly don't know how effective that is LOL.

any chance of carrying the hella Ecode or even US legal housing? that really all i'd trust to put in my car after doing some research into lighting a few months ago.

Yup, $80 a pair for the hella.



The ones that I am selling, like most products in the store are something I have used, I've had my set for well over a year with no issues, if I thought they were a crap product I wouldn't think about selling, but I already have an account with Hella, so those can be made available (non-inventory item) at the price metnioned above https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

If I had the money, I'd buy them. I can't see anything with my stock lamps, they suck. I use an H4 hyper blue bulb in my motorcycel, and it sure is nice. (barely looks blue at all)

phinsup 06-01-2004 09:20 AM

I'm going to do a first gen setup too, pricing will be similar.

Can I get pulled over for these?



I keep getting pulled over for my headlights being too bright and i swear that its because my alignment is off but the cops always interrogate me if my bulbs are factory or not. Crap, i almost got a ticket for my foglights because he thought I had put them in myself and they werent "factory". So now i'm a bit paranoid that I almost got ticketed for something that the car came with.
