My "new" '74 Duster- or why I need a project like a hole in the head
Us old half blinds farts just drive the old cars in the day time. Problem solved.
Sure! Don't fix the actual problem, just don't drive the car! :rolleyes:
Sorry, but if the visibility at night using the ~50 year old lighting system is sub-par I'm upgrading the lighting, not parking the car. If you look back up to the top of the page you'll see that I already replaced the whole wire harness, and I set the headlights up on one of crackedbacks relay harnesses. That made a big difference to the light output of the sealed beams I had in there, but I still wasn't happy. Switching to the JW Speaker EVO 8700's made a
HUGE difference in visibility. As I said earlier, I haven't run the Truck-Lites so I can't compare them to the JW Speakers. I am perfectly happy taking slantsixdan's recommendation when he says the JW Speakers are the best, he
is the expert. But I can say that compared to the sealed beam headlights that were on there before the difference is amazing, and I am definitely happy with my decision to go with the more expensive JW speaker headlights, I totally think they were worth it.
This is my opinion, but I would much rather upgrade my car to do the driving I want to do instead of limiting my driving to match the outdated safety equipment of a ~50 year old car. If you'd rather park your car than replace the outdated safety equipment, this probably isn't the thread for you.
