subeman90 Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 My 83 quad lights suck. they are all yellow and I believe they are the orig. bulbs. I figure i should replace them...but with what? Anyone buy any lights that are other then the GE Halogen bulbs? Silverstar? etc? TIA:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pattiandruss Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 Silverstars are better than the advertisements. They will change you from a dim yellow glow to bright white. Legal, too. Russell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edrach Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 Did the lenses yellow, or are the bulbs dim? On the older cars, the wiring alone may cause enough of a voltage drop to cause the bulbs to be dim. If you change bulbs and they are still dim, you might consider re-wiring the lamps and running them off a relay. I've got a link somewhere in my computer for information on that; I'll try to find it.

subeman90 Posted October 20, 2005 Author Share Posted October 20, 2005 I think the wireing is good but I will check when i do the swap. The lens' are yellowish and actually look dirty inside?! Back when I had my 86 hatch I had the same issue and bulbs pretty much did the job....but things and technology has changed since then....

Mykeys Toy Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 I replaced my old lights with the silver stars and my lights still seem dim and are still yellow but a lighter shade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
