Re: Upgrade low beam headlights or replace with slyvania?

Focusedontheprize,
Yes, got the lights installed and man what a difference, bright white beam unlike the barely noticeable yellow haze of the old ones. It was plug and play, but I do need to work on the wiring as it wasn't long enough for where I have everything. I will try to post some pics.


Can anyone tell me how to post pic now?

Hi MikeB,
Here is what I bought

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Sorry, I cannot find any information on the bulb wattage.

Yes, they are the hella's and work well. Night and day difference between the stock and these. Install was a breeze.
