It was me....I put in GE 885 bulbs 55 watts :yesnod: :yesnod: at Wlamart for $6.95 ea

The stock lights were dull...so I went to a higher wattage bulb...they look great!

Lars told me that trick way back when the forum first started running :yesnod:

Lars told me that trick way back when the forum first started running :yesnod:
I was thinking of doing the same. Do the driving lights in your 94 cut out once you turn on your brights? That's what happens in my 96 and the Tech Tip by Lars states:

"NOTE: Research on the driving light subject indicates that some C4’s have their driving lights grounded directly to chassis ground. This setup is ideal for the above modification. Other C4’s have their driving lights grounded through the headlight high beam filament. What this does is that it will automatically shut the driving lights off when the high beams are turned on. However, if your driving lights are grounded through your high beam filament, you will not get any noticeable improvement in lighting quality by going to the higher wattage driving light bulbs. In fact, the higher wattage bulbs will cause your high beams to glow dimly when the driving lights are turned on. To correct this, you must cut your driving light ground wire and ground it directly to chassis ground if you wish to perform this upgrade"

If so, did you ground your driving lights to the chassis? Thanks...
