well what do you think....do you like that??...looks great...anyway what brand headlites did you buy?...are they those hid"s?...was thinking of upgrading.....since my headlites are original 1968"s except for one which a rock got from my open trailer
I don't know if the headlights were a great choice or not, but I'm satisfied with them. It's been a while since I installed them and I know they were referred to as H4 lights. They didn't fit my headlight buckets, so I had to enlarge the hole in the back of the buckets. The alignment bumps on the backs of the bulbs did not line up with the indentations on my headlight buckets either so I had to grind the bumps down a bit. These are a non-sealed beam design so the wattage (and brightness) will probably vary depending on the supplier. Mine are noticeably brighter (at least before I added the tint) than the halogens that I had originally. I have heard some people say that lights such as these do not aim the light beam correctly and that they cause more glare to oncoming traffic. All I can say is that I have met my son (that was driving this car) at night and didn't notice any glare issue. I have also heard people say that this style of light puts out more heat and can cook the plug in terminals plugged into them. After using them for a year, my wiring still is OK. The halo is powered by a separate pair of wires that I wired to another switch so that I can choose to turn the halo effect on or off separately from the actual headlights. It might be a while before I give the car a road test after adding the tint. I'm sure it will decrease visibility some. But unless it's an unacceptable amount, I'll live with it.
I am planning on adding a headlight relay system yet to make the system more efficient. These lights draw more power than my original ones did and you can notice it affects the rest of the electrical system when you turn them on. The relay system is supposed to eliminate that issue. I am told that new cars are all designed that way now.
The lights I purchased were similar to these 7".

We also installed a set of 4 on our '68 Charger and had to modify them to fit also. On the Charger we had the same issues trying to get them to fit plus we had to split our headlight rings because the circumference of the lights were too big. The Charger ones came from a different supplier.
