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.

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 89 Montero LS 3.0L/Auto 90 MightyMax 2.4L/Man Parted/gone - parts available! 89 Montero LS 3.0L/Auto [Blue/Blue] (2 of 2) 89 Conquest SHP 88 Conquest SHP 87 Dodge Raider 2.6L/Auto 91 Montero RS 3.0L/Auto Others: 37 Lincoln Re: New addition to the Family..89SWB Auto [Re: MI_Mitsu] #798703 03/24/10 05:59 PM Joined: Nov 2001 Posts: 3,272 Pebble Beach, CA Oyaji_Jon Roll Me Over I ran mine on OE wiring in both rigs with no problems whatsoever. I did not change the wattage of the bulbs, however, and could see potentially overloading the existing wiring quickly had I changed out the "stock" Hella bulbs. 73 -Jon KJ6GVM As seen on Expedition with TX plates: VEGETARIAN - An old Indian word for poor hunter Grampa's Trooper 1974 FJ40 1987 FJ60 Re: New addition to the Family..89SWB Auto [Re: Oyaji_Jon] #798704 06/06/10 05:45 AM Joined: Feb 2000 Posts: 3,269 So Cal, USA justice OP Roll Me Over Today I put some synthetic line on the winch today.

I installed the Masterflow compressor that I tool out of my old 95. Yesterday I dropped the diff and today took the ARB airlocker out of the Gen 2 housing and installed it in the 89 housing. Got backlash set right at .005 on the first try.. Tested to 100 PSI and no leaks. Got the diff bolted back in and the passengers side suspension back together..tomorrow, re-assemble the drivers side axle and related parts and done..whew... 99 Gen 2.5, fixing blown head gasket 89 SWB- 33's, ARB Front locker, SR rear locker/axle, SR F brakes, winch, WST Offroad Armor all Around, 2.85 Aussie T-case Gears (SOLD) Sold: (2) 95 SR's, 86 SWB, 90LWB, 91 LWB -Can Change a timing belt in my sleep..
