Headlights

What do you all recommend for headlights? Mine are about dim as can be, almost cant tell there on, so Im looking for something really bright.

Stock halogen lights with a relay kit.

What relay kit do you recommend, Dave? Would a bigger gauge wire help after the relays? Also where should I put the relays?

If you're into changing things up, you could always do an H4 conversion along with the relay upgrade. The H4 housing will give you more options as far as choice of bulbs go. You might want to check your grounds too, dim bulbs are usually the result of a poor ground.

My right bulb was dim. I added a jumper wire from the blub ground prong to a good ground which really helped. The problem was a loose ground wire screw attach point forward of the starter relay. So I fixed the loose screw and all is fine again.

test your GRDs

Great, let's beat another dead horse.

This was just talked about less than a week ago with pages of options and solutions.

Doesn't ANYONE bother to read posts any more?

No, I'm perfectly fine.

Just once again sick of seeing the same questions and same answers day after day.

Wait, will there be a "what bed fits" or a "which doors fit" thread next?

I'm willing to bet on it. Not just picking on you Ryan.
