I need brighter lights
I'm looking for brighter lights? I've seen just the halogen bulbs for around $17 a piece. Was wondring if those are any good. What are my other options I could go with? Any ideas, how good and price?

Been there, done that. The best way to go is to get the Euro Headlight assembly with the superwhite bulbs. The whole setup cost me a couple of hundred dollars. Call Shawn @ The LAPD. He'll hook you up! :seeya

Re: I need brighter lights (O-Ace)
Seems to me the most cost effective is to purchase the single bulb, glass lense modules used on the export version of the C-5. You can get these from Fichner's Chev. in Montana. Dan Stern, a lighting expert, can sell you relays, the special female plug that plugs into the back of the new bulbs, connectors. You are advised if you choose to go to the 130 watt bulbs that you rewire the primary wires to the bulbs with multistrand wire of at least 12 gauge. This is not a job for the faint of heart but can be done if you have some reasonable mechanical skill. See Dan Stern's site at http://lighting.mbz.org/tech/info/HID/conversion/ ALSO if you can find out how to communicate with Shane Hairston, he had a very helpful wiring diagram on the Forum back in Aug of '00. I have done this job of two C-5's and would be happy to give you any help via e-mail that I can.
