Body Damage is Cool

Cibie, Hella, Phillips, GE, Sylvania. I've run all these, plus some others, in the 86.

Hands down winner, the Phillips stock DOT halogen lamp. It threw the most light, and in the most effective manner. Biggest draw back was the short lifespan. Phillips bulbs burn out in a matter of months.

The Cibie lamps were the most disapointing. E-code lamps. Yet the light pattern was poor with a large black hole straight ahead.

All these comments apply exclusively to large rectangular headlamps. The results I've seen with other configurations were different.

'97 T-100 SR5
'86 Toyota's, the variety pack (all gone)
