Headlight upgrade thoughts/opinions?
« on: July 06, 2017, 11:18:15 am »
 I have an 87 V10 Silverado,  running a 4 inch lift and 35 inch tires. I recently purchased an H4 conversion, and it came with 6000 K bulbs. The brights are insanely bright, but distance on low beams have much room for improvement.  I have aimed them properly, including the 25 foot measurement and adjustment. Yesterday I installed Osram Night Breaker Laser bulbs,  and even though they are more yellow than the other bulbs I was running, I'm not really seeing much improvement. Was curious what others have on their trucks, and if they might be having the same issues with a little more distance in their lights? If so, thoughts on improving/upgrading?  Thanks in advance!!

I recently installed these in my stock '87 GMC 4x4 for low beams, they are better than older ones but still leave room for improvement

And these for high beams, no complaints, it's daylight out with these on but not legal in the US. I think it's a 50 or 55 watt bulb so I should upgrade my wiring too.
