I wanna upgrade the old lights and put something a bit brighter, and was just wondering what others are doing and what different brands are better than others

I'm using the Sylvania SilverStars on my Caminos. They are very bright for just changing bulbs

long time ago my friend and i bought cibie' headlamps with h4 bulbs for our gbodies and swap in 90/100w bulbs. now i just use silverstar headlights. i tried the siverstar bulbs on my 95 caprice, they would last about a year, then once one burned out, the other would go within a week. odd

Dana,
I'm using Hella H4's, but would like to add additional relays to enhance the candlepower. They are brighter than sealed beams just the way they are.

Ed,
Can you tell me where you got your upgrade harness kit with relays?
