[QUOTE="NotMatt, post: 899603, member: 15947"] My suggestion: get or make a new headlight harness that runs your lights directly off the battery with a relay from your old headlight harness/switch, then upgrade your old sealed beams to H4 conversion housings (they swap right in place of your sealed beams but accept a standard H4 bulb) and get some H4 Sylvania Silverstar bulbs. I did this with my old XJ and it was freakin' awesome how much better the light was at night. Check on eBay for the H4 conversion housings, usually you can get some for under 50 for the pair with some cheesy blue bulbs. Open the package on these "HID blah blah bullshit" bulbs, smash and throw the pieces away... they're just standard bulbs with blue tint and will suck worse than what you have now. Replace with Silverstars or some other higher wattage bulb. Also, there's probably somebody on eBay making a plug-n-play upgraded harness for your rig too I would imagine. [/QUOTE]
