Re: One More Headlight Relay Thread

Got my Hella E-Code H4 reflector lamps and I used Hella H4+50% halogen bulbs. They are bright. There is a very distinct horizontal line that cuts the light off to keep glare down on the low beams. The Hella Lamps have flat fronts instead of the rounded front sealed beams. The pair draw 9.8 amps low and 10.9 amps high. (See Rogues link above)

The next step would be Xenon HID bulbs and ballasts in the E-Code reflector lamps if I am not happy with the halogens in the future.

My wife has an Audi A4 with HID headlights and they are really remarkable. You put those babies on high beam and you can see all over. They only draw 35 watts. The lamps are motorized and follow the terrain to keep glare down for oncoming drivers. They also turn left and right following the steering.
