Small project this week but its progress. I put in a set of Hella Conversion headlamps. I almost went with the crappy Ebay ones but glad I didn't now.

These things kick <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/butwiggle.gif" alt="" /> compared to the Sylvania Silver Starr conventional lights..Good mod in my opinion that should be on all Gen 1's.


Not so long ago. I sold those light for a living as well as other stuff. They are quite an improvement over most any lights you can buy. I think they still offer sealed beams upgrades too?!

Those lights you got were always a possible illegal upgrade here in California. It would depend on the bulb. 55/65 i think is the legal one. but guys would buy 90/100 bulbs and go and blind people as they drive.I sold even higher wattage bulbs than that too!

Those Hellas are quite durable Justice. You made an excellent choice.

I bought the same bulb upgrade from Dan Stern - whole kit incl relays and everything. He suggested and did some prevous forum members that the OE wiring would not hold up well to the H4/E-code Hella/Valeo bulb conversion. Hence the OE wiring would be used solely to activate a relay directly voltage direct from the battery to the new bulbs on newer & heavier wiring.

Still hadnt completed my switch over on the 89LS, suspension and brakes first! would be interested to read others thoughts on using the OE wiring
