Hologen sealed beams are not as bright as the newer hologen lights.

I checked out that link. Didn't find any info on light patterns. I'm looking for a brighter, whiter light. And yes i know there different.

Orignal question was who makes a good conversion headlamp.
Quote:
Hella makes an excellent conversion headlamp. I've used Hella E-code conversion lamps on three of my vehicles which previously used sealed beam halogen bulbs and highly recommend them to everyone.
Quote:
Sounds nice. Where do you get the relay kit? Does Hella sell it also, or does it come with the lights?

for the guys who have done the conversion, How did you get your power to the relays? I want to maintain as close to factory look as I can. I want to conceal the conversion as much as possible.
the paionless site says to gain power from the battery. How is that done? right from the battery or not?
TIA!

btw, wire size is not an issue with the existing stock setup. 16g feeds the lights. the real issue is all that resistance because the factory didn't use relays and old wiring. look at newer cars...my 99 grand prix uses 16g for the lights.

Keep in mind wire has voltage drop, the higher the current the more voltage drop for a given wire diameter per foot. A four headlamp Hella system with standard sized bulbs(2 55/60 watt H4s and 2 60watt H1s), on high beam will pull about 17amps of total current, considerably less voltage drop on a 12ga wire than on a 16ga.
H4 and H1 bulbs are available in wattages that will simply melt 16 gauge wiring.

What gauge wire would you recommend, or what wattage should we limit ourselves to if keeping the 16 gauge wire? Would keeping the 16 gauge wire defeat the purpose?
