The ultimate headlight upgrade H4 (not LED or HID)

Welcome to the forum! Post your thoughts once you get it all installed!

 

Older pics but still my favorite mod!

Oh, I guess since I did this but didn't post in the thread... I removed the Hikari headlights I had, they were plenty bright and had cut-off shields but I was unhappy with how I had to both aim my headlights up, and kept outdriving them.

So a Headlight Services harness and a handful of Osram Bi-Lux 100/90w lights later and:





Disregard the yellow at the bottom, that's my yellow fog's cutoff.

 

Very nice!

 

I hooked up three folks at work with the upgrade, two have already installed and thanked my over and over...

 

Just finished installing Headlight Services harness and new Pro headlights. Still need to adjust but they are in and work great. I really missed the look of the Pro's. I had them 5 years ago and sold them and had some nice HID's that worked very nice also but really was not all that happy with the look.

OLD Look: New Look: I have some LED marker lights coming in tomorrow, then I am done for a bit. Have to clean up the old set and get them into the classifieds.

Was wondering what the current consensus for lights are/which one is the "better buy" if you will? Can't decide between Osram and the Philips. I'm thinking the Philips because I think I read somewhere they're rated for around 400 hours? How long are the Osrams rated for? I do a lot of driving, especially on dark backroads/out in the country.

 

The Superbrights are 200 hours.

 

which is 100% why I bought eight of them to begin with.

 

Always carry a spare in the truck.

 

With how inexpensive they are its hard not to buy extras.

 

Sorry, I'm sure this has been answered many times in this thread, but I had a headlight go out and went to get new ones today. The shop (Lordco) sold me Philips H4XULED. I have a vague memory of someone saying not to use LED bulbs in our trucks because our houses weren't designed for LEDs and it will actually be worse. Is that correct? Should I take these back and get the regular halogens?

Thanks

 

yes, return them

 

Thanks, are the Philips RacingVision GT200 H4 still the best ones to get?

 

that's what I'm planning
I'm in town with lots of traffic so I want the low beam performance

 

Absolutely yes. They will be a downgrade in performance. Take them back.

 

I ordered the TSB headlights back in April 2021. I received one side but not the other. When I did receive the other side in November it was the pre TSB design. Per the parts guy the TSB headlight has been superseded by the pre TSB.

 

From my research a few months ago... yes. They are an upgrade from OEM. The harness and Osrams 100/90 are a big upgrade from OEM and GT200. The GT200's are in my cubby for spares.

 

Just installed my harness! Gotta wait for night time, also my Osrams still aren't here, so waiting on that still! Install was super easy! Took my time installing so it looks pretty!

 

Just ordered the harness last night from Headlight Services! And I just ordered the Osrams from them too, seems to be the only place I could get them shipped to Alaska. I'm very thankful for them, should have just ordered everything at once and saved them and myself some time. Hopefully everything gets here in one piece .
