    "Moose Lights" options... Hella 4000 series?

    Mostly personal reason I don't like shinny. Besides they look horrible when they start rusting. At least withe black housings you can rattle can those.

    "Moose Lights" options... Hella 4000 series?

    Not a bad price considering what some brands cost. Just don't get fancy and get them with Chromium housings. Would be interesting to see how those compared to similar priced 9 inch lamps. Think B-D and R brands here.

    7x6 H6054 Conversion Housings

    Thanks I figured the bulbs are the cheapest version they could throw in the box. I already have some Phillips +130 X-tremeVision bulbs on hand.

    Remove coating from blue bulbs?

    I think it that use it was used on the reflective surface for dimensional accuracy. The blue band may have been done with plasma depositing process like is done to coat tool steels and wearing surfaces. If that is the case then no solvents can be used. It would take a multi step aggressive...

    Silverado replacement headlamp housings

    Thanks, that is exactly the information I was looking for. I think for the cost it will be worth the effort to try to polish the originals. If I am not successful then I will invest in the replacements. Unfortunately since my state has no mandatory safety inspections I will have to travel to...

    Silverado replacement headlamp housings

    2000 Silverado 1500 Original headlamp housings either need replacement or the polish treatment. I did order some headlamp assemblies while ordering some other parts. I made the mistake of ordering the ones listed as "Various Manufacturer" rather than from TYC. They are horrible with the...

    Upgrade A pillar lights on my Jeep?

    Virgil thanks for your wisdom. I have a NIB from the late 70s and early 80s era A pillar mount spot light. It was a dealer option for my 1979 Bronco. I have been scared to mount it during my restoration due risk of breaking the lamp. I was not aware they even made PAR46 LED lamps. That lamp...

    offroad driving lights recommendations?

    Thanks for sharing your results of using A pillar lights. The more I look at those LP9 lights the more fitting I think they would be for me. A pair of bumper level combos will be possible. They can be set on the bumper just inside of the headlights without blocking any OEM lighting and still...

    offroad driving lights recommendations?

    offroad driving lights recommendations?

    Dust is one of the problems, well not actually dust but sand. Light reflects off that like hitting a wall. It will screw with your night vision and depth perception. Corner or ditch lights like some call them would be a big help if they can give me some range not right in front of me. I hit...
