I'd rock one. I had an xb as a company vehicle...put a bunch of miles on it with no issues and good mpg, great head and legroom for me. Would be cool to have one that looked like our trucks!

wondering how fast they'll burn out. I love the light output of silverstars but they lasted just under a year in my wife's van with very limited nighttime driving....

68 TT · 01-06-2012, 02:58 AM

I run theses in everything I can that is a street car.

Great light level at a reasonable price and they last a decent amount of time. The color is whiter than the typical H4 ones marketed here.

For off road vehicles I like these

Amazon.com: HELLA HLA-H83140141 H4 12V 100/55W...

Street legal low beam but brutal high beam that I swear will melt the chrome off the front bumper.

Hey 68tt, your link to the Nightbreakers worked but the link to the Hella's didn't, Those Nightbreakers look interesting, thanks for the tip!

That is funny. The link in my response doesn't work but the one in yours quoting mine does.

I've had the same experience with silverstars. Reviews on the extremes say they have much better longevity

...and probably melt the connector/harness. The 9008/h13 have small contacts, so upping the wattage is risky. The nightbreakers look interesting

Mine are supposed to have stock bulbs in them; we'll see when they arrive.

Adding to the confusion: Here's a plug and play harness, if you don't wanna cut your stock wiring:

been having a little fun the last couple days, inspired by ATVPRO on his work station, i am building a welding station for my new welder, $60 bucks in tubing and a bottom of an old tool box and this is what i am coming up with ! i wanted a couple drawers to put , welding clamps/ wire/ misc and a little section of work bench, so anyway here is my start to my welding station. I have alot more work to go but at this point i only have about 4 hours in it

**67cheby** · 01-10-2012, 10:43 AM

and if you dont think that is an old tool box , check out my MINITRUKIN sticker circa 1990 !! LOL

**67cheby** · 01-10-2012, 10:46 AM

I also had time to mess with a couple other little projects, mount for my valve block and breathers for my valve covers (i am thinking about shortening the breather , so they dont stick up so high)

VA72C10 · 01-10-2012, 02:15 PM

Nice work on the cart. That should be super convenient...probably can keep about 90% of the tools you need in there since nearly everything bolted on our trucks uses 1/2", 9/16, or screws...add a hammer, pry bar, and some duct tape and you're set

Good spot for the accuair valve block. Should be a clean looking setup.

Not sure on options on the breathers...

**67cheby** · 01-10-2012, 02:19 PM

Yes i cant wait to get it all set up !! going to be super convenient yes with all of the metal working tools and the normal always grab tools and a BFH ! and the bottom is where i will store my cool welding helmet....once i get one !

watahyahknow · 01-10-2012, 02:21 PM

had the same thing with the breathers , but havent seen them on the engine yet
i do wonder if theres nothing in the way of the opening when there mounted , i can immagine the first rocker and springs sitting in front of it

**67cheby** · 01-10-2012, 02:23 PM

yes they do clear the rockers

raull · 01-10-2012, 03:04 PM

i agree with shortening breathers !!!!!

**67cheby** · 01-10-2012, 03:12 PM

i think i can take about 1 inch out of them, i will probably smooth off the tops where they wont be scripted with eldelbrock also

raull · 01-10-2012, 03:14 PM

yes i like that smooth off the tops idea also !!!

Get your dremel out and etch "C-10" in them

**67cheby** · 01-10-2012, 05:17 PM

that would look cool !

Or you can do the chevrolet script...that'd be fun to do free-hand with a dremel

watahyahknow · 01-10-2012, 06:48 PM

i think you could just flatten the tops on a beltsander to get the edelbrock logo off and then do a chemical eching same way they do to the copper electric circuitboards , maybe you could put "hartbeat of america" on them in small fond , it would be waaaaay simpler than trying to carve it out with a dremel

come to think of it you could use a red copper coverplate over the logo and use the same bolds to hold it on top , age it intoo black reworka little with steelwhool so it looks like a jeansbutton and then just keep it that way
