uprated bulds

muddy landy:
Hi ive got a 1993 200tdi defender and was thinking of uprating the head lights has anybody done this and is it a straight plugin or would i need to run through a relay :laugh:

Red Defender:
i wired mine straight in, i bought clear lenses with a side light in them

lambert:
Depends on whether you mean to replace the whole light or just the bulb. If the latter then go for one iv the various percentage improvement types that still draw the standard 55w power then you are still legal and your wiring will be up to it.

I believe a lot of the problem is to do with volt drop. old wiring and a bit on the thin side as well.
Using relays with a nice healthy supply (fused) direct from the battery would help loads.
Also, I've read that people have had good results from the Halfords own brand of brighter bulbs I think they are called Extreme Brilliance.

I fitted some Wipac crystal lenses with some "Bright White" bulbs (can't remember brand) with amazing improvement. So much so, when I sold the 90 I moved the lights onto my RRC.
