[Re: scirocco headlights are bright enough]

[losinit@usa.net (Cathy Boyko)]

I didn't call up the JC Whitney page, but if you want to upgrade the exis=
ting
quads, the easiest way is to get rid of the sealed beams in favour of qua=
ds
with lenses and removeable bulbs, which can be changed to upgrade brightn=
ess
(they'll likely have H1 or H4 molded into the glass lens). The only probl=
em is
they are really pricey new. But if you do enough yard scrounging,(or in m=
y
case, list begging) you may at least be able to find some cheap used ones=
=2E At
least this way you can keep your headlight frames. But look at the tech
procedure for the relays on the .org. Even if you're not a wiring person,=
 you
can easily go back to the stock wires, since the relay setup shown only
requires splicing into a few of the stock wires, so they pretty much can =
stay
there till you are secure enough that your new and improved system works =
well.
Heck, if I can do it, any one can. As TBerk said, may as well relay the s=
tock
lights first. Oh, and you can leave off the city light wires if you do th=
e
=2Eorg method, stock NA don't have city lights AFAIK.

Coming to Cincy? I bet there are quite a few people who would help you ri=
g it
up if you brought the wires/relays/connectors.
