Head Lamp Upgrade...

[William]

Newer bulbs may not solve the problem.

Lights are often dim due a large voltage drop; designed to operate at 14v. Actual voltage at the bulbs is often under 12v.

Solution is to run power direct to the lamps via relay.

I agree with William on this. I put a relay on one of my Chevelle's and it made a big difference in the brightness. I was thinking it was a kit from someone. I may still have the box somewhere...

Yes, I did install relays too. One for each set of lights, high/low.
