euro headlights
ok...so i've been looking to do some mods to the exterior of my truck and was looking into some projector headlights. after reading some of the posts here i am now thinking otherwise (many people say that the lighting sucks) so i am now considering some euro headlights. anybody know anything about them??? are they good/bad, how's the lighting?

Have you thought about upgrading your light bulbs. I have seen them with a high beam wattage of 170. I would imagine you would need to upgrade the wiring for such power. These bulbs are not strictly street legal but who is going to know. In my part of the world being able to see a mile or more down the road at night is nice, it helps avoid deer and domestic live stock wondering on the road.

What bulbs you talking about. Our stock lights are H13 and the ones I looked at did not have any H13 listed.

Oh you have the HID lights, well there isn't much you can do to improve them. except change them out for a higher tempurature. It is interesting the latest thing in Europe is LED headlights I don't know much about them, it will be interesting see how they work.

thanks for the input, but i'm not really talking about european headlights, euro headlights are just what they are called. they are just a clear headlight assembly similar to factory....they dont look as cool as projector headlights but i think that they would light up the road better. and yes transmaster i have upgraded my bulbs.

actually the website does have conversion kits. I used to run Eurpean headlights, Cibie a Fench brand which I can no longer find. I have to agree about the lense design I am looking at this change out myself in the meantime I will upgrade my bulds and see how that works out.
