Default C4 headlilghts

What is the best way to upgrade the poor headlights on my 87 coupe? The more I research this the more
confused I get. Does anyone make a halogen sealedbeem with more poop, that my wireing will handle, or is one of the kits with the
kits with the bulb the way to go?

Thank You

MAD and ecklers sells upgrade kits... they are lamps with replacable bulbs... MUCH better over stock lighting.

You can also check here for the hellas... http://www.susquehanna.com/susq/hella/headlamp.htm

The hellas you can configue with whatever bulb you'd like.

I'm honestly not sure. APC has a horrible website, and finding their products online is a chore and a half. Maybe your local ricer store? :D

I've been running BOSCH Headlights for about 3 years now, with 80/100 watt bulbs and love them. BIG difference over stock. :D

Nice work Jon!

Another thing that might help is that the APC bulbs are rated at a 4000 *K COLOR Temperature. Basically another manufacturer bulb rated at 4000 *K should match.
