Just do it already. It's a good upgrade. Many of us have done

Hope the hella 100/55 are better then my hella 100/80s.. Within a week one blew up and destroyed the housing. Fortunately amazon was great and refunded me all my money. Bought new housings and a new bulb and before the new bulb was even here the other bulb burnt out.

Tell me how they go and might reconsider.

Yeah, I did the Putco harness a couple months ago (still have sealed beams) and WHAT A DIFFERENCE!!!! Cant wait to see how they are with some real headlights, but i recommend doing at least the harness if you drive at night. low beams become as bright as the high beams were

That's unfortunate. I hope they're better. Lol

Did you have a fuse in the wiring harness though? I'm thinking I need to splice one in.

Last night i tore front brakes apart to inspect hubs and see what hub/rotors I have on my 99. Then I found this....

Completely sheared.
I ordered greaseable moog joints, hubs for cast rotors, and brakes all around.

I need to finish up my other projects first! haha. I was considering the Rampage housings, but the Autopals I reckon are a little more close to factory look (google images might be misleading me). Once my body work and disc brake conversion is done I will tackle this, depending on funds of course...would love to hit that powerball

I warn people away from the 80/100. I had two go within a year. Waste of money. Awesome light output but waste. Plus you need to make sure housing stay clean so heat dissapates better

I went back with sylvania exyravision and it suits me. I want to try the piaa fatboys but for $80 I want reviews first

As with light bulbs. The voltage makes the first difference and the lumen output. all the sylvania have the same oitput just a different burning temperature.
