Snowman Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 Would it be possible to just mount some KCs or something in the holes where the stock lights go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tailgatewagon Posted September 21, 2005 Author Share Posted September 21, 2005 most KC lights are 7 or 8 in. they have one that is 6.8..... you can try hella.com to see there stuff, and kclights.com http://www.kchilites.com/store/5-Black-HIDbrLong-Range-System-461-P420C35.aspx these would be sweet but a little expensive....

Zefy Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 i've been toying with the idea of BMW lights... they used quad round headlights for many many years... and they seem bright... my uncles are pretty darn good... i took a quick measurement but i think they will fit...

I thought it was ugly, but i figured I'd let you know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 You can get non-sealed beam (like H4 or something) replacements for most (if not all) sealed beam lights. Not too expensive either. Then you can go to like, 120W per bulb. You want the number on the front of the light, ill look at the quads on my 79 later if you want.

eyesore Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 You can get the proper size housings from JC Whitney for an H-4 headlight conversion. I did this to Eyesore, and am now able to run Sylvania Silverstar H-4 bulbs. The whole deal cost about $75. BIG difference. If you wanted to lay out big $$, you can even do a H.I.D. conversion. For Rallying, and extreme rural areas (like I was in,) I reccommend the H-4 conversion and KC's in concert. (BTW, I've found the $20each Walmart-special 6" spots to work/last quite well. I see no need to spend Hella, KC kind of $$ on lights. My .02) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
