Title: Re: [Chevelle-list] Headlights I second the good things to say about madelectrical.com I bought 2 pair of Bosch H4s for my '67, and that made a definite improvement on the stock T3s. A few months after that, I rewired the headlights with relays, and that was simply outstanding.

You might add some relays so you can run some 100A high beams. Some good bulbs will set the grass afire by the side of the road. Clint HooperH&H Custom,ownerLT5 Registry Directorhttp://www.LT5Registry.net/ACES #1650http://dalesplace.com/misc/friends/clint/clint_hooper.htm - Original M
