I used to do this with my old Japanese cars that had the square headlights. I would get a Hella or Bosch headlight conversion kit that allows you to replace the bulb with a new H4 like more modern cars. This allows you to customize the color temperature of your headlights (as in take away the dim yellow and replace it with a 'whiter' and brighter light.
This leads me to the dreaded HID debate. Actually its not even a debate. People that install HID's in their non-projector lenses are...well...silly. The wide, retina-burning beam is enough to blind everybody within a 3 block radius and in most instances, is highly illegal. Now we have an alternative!
It is my plan to grab some Hella 7" conversion headlights (because they look pretty stock with proper vertical lines in them), then get a new High Intensity CREE LED kit. My buddy installed them in his 2002 Explorer and wow, they look incredible! Nice and bright, super efficient and their beam is similar to a sealed beam. Has anybody tried these new LED bulbs yet? Any other options for making a safer, whiter headlight system?
