h4 headlight upgrade
 
i searched on google for this, and the forum here, but i couldnt find a place to buy

where is a good place to get one? are they all the same or not?

i dont know if there is different quality or not in them

if you did this upgrade where did you find your harness and have you had good luck with it

i want brighter lights, and from what i read i will be amazed after this install

do you have to do the headlights too? or just the harness?

just my opinion, but these will be way better than anything on ebay. im on my 2nd set of HIDS on my S10 that i got from ebay, and im still not happy and i already spent over $250 in total on them. just my $0.02 worth

I went with the autopals from eBay with their upgraded bulb, and I made my own harness with stuff from RadioShack and homedepot.

muskegon mi is your location!

im just south of you...grand haven area :thumbup:

Im going to order the harness i think...may go get some silverstar from napa or something with the harness

that should be a huge improvement over stock..which i dont think are that bad really...

i did the cool blue sylvania in my old jeep (no harness) and it was a noticeable difference in the two

silver star plus the hd harness should be very nice

I'm all for DIY where I can, but for $30 ready to go, with two relays and all correct connectors the Putco harness is a no-brainer.

I got the 100/55w bulb, and they are way brighter than my old silver stars with the stock harness. I don't have any before picks but here is the h4s on low and high beam. Pictures doesn't really do them justice.
