Geez! You can almost read that houses address! lol Wicked.
I was driving home tonight and noticed how much more I could see since we wiped 'em off, lol. But I also noticed that the right one is much brighter. That's the old one, too.. the one you moved for me is dim as crap.
I was thinking... I might also paint that indent in the middle of my bumper. Whatcha think?

I would look into a headlight harness and silverstar headlights if you guys want a cheap upgrade...
My old sylvannia halogens were dull & yellow. I swapped to the sylvannia performance silverstars for 40 bucks and man they are bright and super super white, with a slight hint of blue. I haven't done a headlight harness yet but its on the list..Got mine at wally world and couldn't be happier.
Low beams

My buddies 96 has the HID headlights..his look cool being blue and all, but his scatter light more. About the same output except mine is more clean/clear..his is more scattered. He payed just under 200 for his setup, I payed 40 lol...guess its all in what you want!

You got some good light there. I have the sealed beam sylvania silverstars with stock harness. Did you do a halogen conversion ? Or did you just replace the stock harness ? I'm interested lolOriginally Posted by Kamaran

I just bought the replacement headlights..mine are sealed beams! They were 100% plug & play, I changed nothing other than putting them in and adjusting.Originally Posted by harleyxj

They said silverstar on the box..blue box if I remember right...and on the headlight itself. Like on the glass, it says "sylvannia performance" Like right on the front of the light. My other ones said "sylvannia halogen".
Thats also my 25 year old headlight harness lol. Its pretty old and ratty looking, so when I do a upgraded harness I'm sure I'll get even better lighting.

Do you run those KC's at all times? I run my Hella 500s at all times, whenever headlights are on so are my AUX lights. Not to bright at all, and I plan on doing a 35W hid kit soon. Anyway...
If you do...I think you should run em at all times. Heres what you do,
Go behind a shop thats got a clear wall or find a wall where you can park about 25 feet away. Turn you KC's & headlights on. Adjust the headlights till they are perfect, use my pic as an example..The beams should be seperated but slightly facing inward..like mine arm. And then adjust them up or down..favor them a little high so they will throw your light further down the road.
Then adjust the KCs a little low so they throw more light directly in front of you.
Doing is that way should keep other people from flashing you, and it should give you a decent amount of light! The KC's are brighter, so aiming them a little low will help with other drivers flashing you.
My Hellas are bright! And I haven't been flashed yet..I'm actually about to convert them to HID's which should make them like 3x brighter
You should look into converting your KC's if you want more light..its stupid cheap!

..it only cost like 40 bucks to convert them..way cheaper the HID headlights and alot brighter!

I don't run them at all times because they are way too bright lol but if I aim then down more on too the road in front of the jeep maybe it won't be so bad. Thanks for the suggestion, I'll try it out and see if I get flashed at all lolOriginally Posted by Kamaran

Those fog lights he using are called Blazer projector fog lights and are factory equipment on C5 vettes. You can buy the fogs for like 30 bucks on ebay. Another 30-40 bucks for a HID kit and well..I'll let you decide.

The output is amazing. I actually have these fogs in my garage currently and just never though of using. Its safe to say that these will now be making there way onto my jeep with a 5000K HID retro fit.
