Has anyone here replaced their Cherry's stock Wagner lights with a combo lens/h4 bulb upgrade package?? I'm thinking it would be a sensible way to simplify burnt out light replacement in the future while getting more (and better) light in the process.

I've seen kits from Rampage, IPF, Delta and a few others.

Please share your experiences (both good & bad) with these vision upgrade options.

 

I got some H4 conversion lights off of ebay called "autopal" and they are very close if not the same as the IPF/HELLA lights. The light output is a huge upgrade. And they are not as expensive as the high dollar IPF/HELLA conversions. If you go on ebay just search "H4 conversion headlights" they work very well. You wont go back to stock headlights ever again. I am also going to do and upgraded harness in the near future that gives even more light output. Thats my .02.

 

are the autopals glass or plastic lenses? If they are plastic do not bother..get real glass lenses..

 

I got the 'diamond cut' ones off ebay and I personally hate them. the light refracts in all sorts of wierd random directions. I got tail lights and side markers that I love but I need better headlights.

 

The issue with the cheapos is the relfectors aren't going to be as good a quality and could very well be painted..Also typically have plastic lenses. Personally I'd pay the extra to get hella or IPF's...You can usually find the lenses for about $70 a pair..

 

Go-Jeep has a harness upgrade that you make yourself. It will insure that your headlights get the full 12 volts directly from your battery. READ HERE

 

The Autopal's are glass lens E-Code housings. I have been running them awhile now with their standard bulbs and notice a big improvement in pattern and visibility. I plan a harness upgrade eventually and may bump up to a brighter bulb.

EDIT: Heres a very long thread with pics from NAXJA on these lights.

That's good to know..I will add them to my list....Just gotta find em on ebay...lol

 

I just saw them on ebay cuz I need to get a new one they are $24.99 + 14.95 shipping. They are glass cuz if you drop one it will shatter. Yes I dropped one. I was running IPF bulbs and it was excellant on the back roads I drive.

 

Heres the ebay store: stores.ebay.com/autopal-lights

 

That 24.95 si that for the pair or single? Also how do they compare to sealed beam Silverstars?? The Silverstars would be about the same maybe less locally..

 

The 24 is for the pair with the H4 bulbs. I just put silverstars back in til I replace the shattered autopal. The auto pals give off a bit more light than the silverstars. I noticed the ST highbeams are not even close to being as bright as the AP's lowbeam is close but the AP's beat them. I cant wait to get them back in.

 

Hmm I guess I'll get some AP's and give em a shot...

 

For $40 and being a bolt in i was willing to gamble on them close to 2 years ago. Maybe the best $40 investment on my rig.

Still running the original bulbs, i should probably look into getting a new set.

 

I will be ordering my replacement set on pay day. I wont run anything else for a while. I was thinking about putting HID's in them. We'll see.
