- Yes ! Only disadvantage I can think of is that it's more important they be aimed properly. Otherwise the increased light may irritate oncoming drivers more. With a load in the trunk, mine are too hi

- If you are still using standard headlamps switching to sealed beam halogens will make a significant difference. They give the most bang for the buck and use the same amount of current so you won't ov

- If you are switching over to halogen head lamps and actually drive at night (it seems a lot of TRs are driven day time only these days), may I suggest IPF headlamps? IPF headlamps have a European sty

- When you pay the extra $$ for the Hella, Cibie & IPF lamps you are paying for a more precision lens that is carefully aligned with the reflector and where the filaments would be located. As Dave men

- While not required, relays are an improvement even with 55/60 watt bulbs, IMO. As I recall, those are the smallest H4 halogens available, but are still somewhat more power than the original bulbs. T

- I guess the point I was driving at is that it is a light projections system where bulb filament placement and reflector contour are important. Many years ago I put some H4's on the wife's Datsun. One

- I just blew a headlamp, so now I am considering what I'll replace it (them) with. The halogen options are tempting me. Is night visibility that much better than the old sealed beams? Are there any di
