headlights

I don't know about those bulbs, but if you want more light it's not that hard a job. Best thing I've done to my '91--now I've got all 4 lights on high beam, and I use 80 watt lamps for the lows and 100 watt for the highs. That's 360 watts total as opposed to the original 120 or so on high beam.

That smoke coming from the front of your car is the plastic lense covers melting ;)

How did you get all four lights on highbeam?

I haven't had any overheating problems, but I read it was because the engineers were concerned about melting the plastic lenses that some T-Birds, Camaros, etc. have such weak headlighting. Even in the late 50's, all four lights came on when you hit the high beams. If you want to re-do it to get more light, I can give you the whole rundown. It's not all that bad a job.

You can buy a harness to make all 4 lights s tay on or you can make your own harness, on the front page you can go to most wanted parts and go down to the competition-limited lights and click that link, iirc, its about $80 for it.

You might be able to get away with using the kit that summit sells for chevy trucks, you will prob have to do some cutting/soldering(I wouldn't splice and tape).

There is also another guy that uses high quality relays and what not and builds them on a per application basis.

There also may be something in the tech articles about it.

I would def upgrade the wiring and use relays.
