I am begining some "minor upgrades" to my car while waiting for the engine // tranny. I was quite unhappy with the current lighting setup. It is: 7" 60/40W bulbs (replaced < 6 mo).
My plan was to go with JC Whitney 7" headlamp upg set, 135/90w H4 halogen's and relay and new fuse box. All to go with the new generator to altenator conversion for more juice.
I was dissapointed when I got the "kit" -- cheap plastic with a "For H4 55/60W bulb use only" sticker on them. No indication of this in the catalog / website.
My question is: Am I really gaining much going to this bulb (smaller than anticipated bulb) versus what I have in the "old style" glass sealed units (which are halogen, but not H4 whatever that is) ??
I am happy to buy better "housing" units but will have to hunt a bit since nothing I saw after a google search had the max bulb wattages on them. Any advice and direction here would be appreciated.
Am I doing a lot of work for little return ??
Also -- doing positive ground to negative earth conversion, switch to petronix ele ignition, new petronix coil, convert to altenator. Since I've heard that electrical issues were common w/ Spridgets -- I thought I'd start to update some of the items when it was easy (no engine).
