Head Light Replacement
 

Hi I got this description for the HL replacement from one of the "how to doc's": R/L High Beam Lights 9005

Is this the OEM lights or improved after market part. I have a 92 SVX with extremely weak lights. I can hardly see a thing driving in the dark and I have fairly good eyesight.

Check the clarity of the lens and use some lens repair if cloudy or yellowing. If you want to stay close to OEM get something like Sylvania SilverStars https://www.sylvania.com/en-us/produ...tar-ultra.aspx of the appropriate size IE 9005.

HIDs are available but are a bit of a wiring chore.

You can also use high beam bulbs in the low beam sockets with a minor modification of the bulb base.

There's a "How To" doc.

The low beam is a projector type and will not blind oncoming drivers.

Personally I wouldn't bother with the Silverstars. In my experience they give a minor improvement in brightness, are expensive and burn out very quickly.

First check what type of bulbs you have fitted, UK, JDM and Europe have H1 and H3 fitments. I fitted HID to mine, was easy, no wires to cut or join.:)

DDM Tuning has Plug and Play HID kits for 9006 (low beam). It only takes about 5 minutes to change the stock bulbs for HID's. Definitely clean up your headlights if they are yellowing, it makes a big difference.

I agree. Polish the headlights add some sort of protection and put in a DDM tuning HID kit.

Thanks for all the help guys! Will definitely have to do a cleaning job first!


@Scoobymal, how will I know what type of bulbs I have fitted? Service manual, I suppose?

@Sean486, are these DDM tuning kits available to order online?

Sylvania cleaning kit has been good for us and is highly rated. No fancy unnecessary power hardware, just plenty of wet/dry paper, cleaner fluid and clear coat (no we don't work for Sylvania)
