You could do an easy Quartz Halogen or LED conversion, but there is more to the situation. She wanted me to install a pair of Driving Lights to increase illumination. I asked that she let me try something first and if it still was not bright enough, I would add the Driving Lights later.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-fareast-language:EN-US'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-fareast-language:EN-US'>Part of the problem is the number of switches and junctions that the wiring goes through before the filament is lighted up.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-fareast-language:EN-US'><img width=359 height=464 style='width:3.7416in;height:4.8333in' id="Picture_x0020_1" src="cid:image001.jpg@01D78566.4D118070" alt="Diagram

What I did was a bit more costly, but boy did it make a difference. I wrote up the conversion for our club magazine, the Toronto Triumph Club’s Ragtop, and am happy to share it if you like, just email me.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-fareast-language:EN-US'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-fareast-language:EN-US'>I used the Advance Auto Wire Headlamp kit (<a href="http://www.advanceautowire.com/">http://www.advanceautowire.com/</a>) to separately fuse each filament (right, left hi, low) and use relays to provide the power to each pair of filaments. In this case, your existing lighting switch only manages the limited power to switch the relay. The power to the actual filament comes straight from the battery/starter. Therefore, far more power reaches the filament when the bulb is energized. This change alone is likely to increase the amount of light on the road. There are other kits on the market, but IMHO, not as high a quality as the AAW. If you know your wiring, you can do the individual components yourself. Additionally, I added Cibié quartz halogen Headlamp conversions.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-fareast-language:EN-US'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-fareast-language:EN-US'>The amount of light on the road is AMAZING.
