look at part#71077 on this parts page, at my company we have some fleet customers that that spend over $25,000 a year on headlights failing and they are looking and are using this company products in some of their locations.
that 7" looks like a good fit http://www.hamsar.com/#!forward-lighti.../part-%23-71077  |

After driving with these for about a month I can say this is an awesome upgrade! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
The light is super bright compared to my not very old 55W H-4s, which were way brighter than OEM set-up that was in there 10 years ago. They are worth adjusting, as the light spread improved when I aimed them up a bit. I added a link to the reviews on Amazon - a lot is written. I was happy to read that I am not the only one to notice the bright "X" formed in the middle of the road by the somewhat angular hot-spots in the pattern of light (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Overall, bright, WIDE, white light 2-4x brighter than standard options and the install is plug-n-play. I was constantly "over driving" my old lights during PM forays on the local twisty forest roads, but now can see way ahead and much farther around corners as I cruise at 55mph (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) I can't comment on the high beams. Mine don't work (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Need to fix that, but less important now w these new headlights. http://www.amazon.com/GE-NIGHTHAWK-Round-R...yRankDescending |

They are too bright to use around traffic but light up like the sun on an empty road. If both your highs are out, it might be your car and not the lights. |
