Brighter Head Lights

[KITT1983]

You know your HIDs...yes, they are.

well, when you are surounded by ricers you tend to be schooled in the art of Rice and Knight Rider

When it is done to American KARR, it is Knight Rider

When it is done to Japanese KARR, it is RICE

ALL must bow to the almighty K.I.T.T.

It's pretty easy, although time consuming to make your own headlight brightening harness using two relays. I measured voltage at the back of the alternator...13.8v and then measured the voltage at the headlight bulbs themselves. They were at 11.5v. At the headlight switch on the steering column is where I could actually feel the wires getting hot...this was with the Silverstars. The more wattage you put on the factory harness can possibly cause a fire under your dash. After I made a "brightening harness" with two relays, the wires did not get hot anymore and the headlights had two more volts getting to them...which was substantially brighter! I guess this is the reason why when I kicked the throttle and the volt booster came on the Silverstars would blow...the were getting a lot more voltage. Since then, I've replaced the Silverstars with HID lights. They are even brighter than Silverstars and they consume less power.

HID's...

thanks thats what i was lookin for but whats the deal with needin relays so you dont barbecue the steering column wires? those harnesses dont have any...

I've found out that if you have a volt booster those SilverStar lights will blow very quickly.

You can buy a two bulb HID kit on eBay for less than $60 including the bulbs. However, you will have to buy two conversion lenses so a H4 style HID bulb will fit. You will also have to buy two kits and two more conversion lenses to conver all of the lights over to HIDs.

HID kit

Headlight conversion lenses.

Quoted for the truth..i went this route...housings with h4 4300 kelvin HID bulbs....x934540958394085340949085 times better than sealed beam lamps.

Sorry but your Idea is not a clean look for our GN's and Yes It does cost $87.00 for all the bulbs not just the the low beams like your project calls for to piss people off. The Idea shared here are to make our cars look better. Plus can you do us a favor. can you post pictures of your lights and your relay job. I can just amagin what type of job you did on your car. Sorry but I must say you did get under my skin. And thank for Ruining this post. If you have good ideas please share thats what it's about. I look forward to your pics.

You refer to the cars as having a certain group of owners with the words "our GN's"....... in which it doesnt sound like Im a part of Mr. 135 posts. The idea you shared here is boring, and common sense, and has been posted hundreds of times over the past 10 years or so. So I will do you a favor, and NOT post pictures of my headlight wiring harness, and leave it up to your boring imagination. I did not ruin your post. You did. I do have some good ideas, but I have been discouraged from posting them by you Mr. 135 posts because Im not aloud to state my opinion. Here is a picture of what I made my harness out of jackass. Back under my rock...................................................
