They are brighter than what was in the car before. If I recall, I had them pointed down to low which might explain your problem. The front end on that car is tweaked upwards anyway. Plus I never really drove that car at night. Get your Dad to sit in the car then adjust them up a little.

This is all new to me.Hey All, here's a link to exactly what I put in the 72 that Bill Ramsey has now. http://www.truck-lite.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10001&storeId=10001&productId=23781&langId=-1They are 65/55 watt bulbs. I wanted to get some Sylvania SilverStar's I think they were called. They are more of the HID lookalike than the bulbs I ended up using. The SilverStars were like $35 a piece and I didnt want to spend that much on the car. I ended up going with a Sylvania 9007LL bulb which has good brightness. Coupled with the reflector system in the 7" housing, they really were brighter than the stock H6024 Sylvania sealed beams that were in the car. Hope that helps.

chickenwafer Posted May 19, 2005 Author Share #23 Posted May 19, 2005 I think the ones I am installing are 100 watt lights. They have a Krypton gas-filled bulb, which burns very cool and produces amazing light (they hook up to my friends '74 Chevy C20 half-ton truck perfectly, so we test-fitted them on it and they are AMAZING). They are deff high/low beam, so maybe they aren't HID? I also have driving/fog lights, and living in the hilly backend of southwestren PA I need all the lights I can get. Deer are dumb in this area....... I am considering that harness, thanks for the suggestions. I will shoot a "before" and "after' picture head-on with the old and new lights, so you can judge for yourself if they are good. But for $20 bucks, I don't think I can loose considering I got all new sealed beam assemblies and with Krypton bulbs.
